Samsung workers want to share 15% of the profits, but management only agrees to a one-time bonus—classic capital game theory.

Samsung Electronics Korea union announces delay of the planned 18-day strike originally scheduled to start on May 21, with the union voting on the wage proposal; previously, the court partially approved an injunction against the strike, and if the union continues to strike, they will be fined approximately 100 million won per day.
The union demands the removal of the performance bonus cap, the allocation of 15% of profits for bonuses and institutionalization, and a 7% increase in basic wages to narrow the gap with SK Hynix.
Management is only willing to offer a one-time bonus or a limited 10% profit-sharing plan, refusing permanent reforms, citing concerns over long-term burdens and competitiveness.
