Samsung workers rally, call for larger share of AI profits
Around 40,000 Samsung Electronics workers rallied on April 24, 2026, demanding a larger share of the company's AI-driven profits—including the removal of a 50% annual base salary cap on bonuses—and threatening an 18-day strike starting May 21 if their demands are not met. Samsung has rejected removing the bonus cap but offered additional funding for memory division workers to match competitors' earnings, while warning that a production halt could disrupt global chip supplies and cost over $700 million daily.
