Workers at the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU) rallied in Hwaseong on Thursday, after the union called for its 30,000 members to go on 'indefinite strike 'as negotiations with management over wages and benefits faltered.

Footage shows workers marching while carrying NSEU flags and placards, chanting and listening to speeches by union leaders.

The announcement of 'indefinite' action came on the final day of a three-day general strike.

The NSEU, which represents nearly 25 percent of Samsung's workforce in South Korea, reported that their actions had impacted production. Samsung rejected the claims.

The company is one of the top global producers of chips, smartphones, and televisions, and historically did not allow unions to represent workers. The company changed its policy in 2020 following significant public pressure.
