AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Labor-management negotiations at South Korea's Samsung Electronics broke down on the 20th. Although the union accepted a mediation proposal from the National Labor Relations Commission, Samsung's management refused to sign, arguing that the union's demand for compensation for loss-making divisions violates the company's 'pay-for-performance' principle. Following the collapse of talks, the union announced it will proceed with a full-scale strike in Seoul on the 21st, but stated it will continue to strive for an agreement even during the strike.
