rluker5 This is good for Samsung and for consumers in the short term. But the court's justification "Now, the aforementioned court has said that staffing levels required to maintain safety, prevent damage to the facility, and maintain product quality "must remain at normal levels," " sounds like it came straight from the desk of a Samsung manager. Is this how the courts are in other parts of the world? All plants can shut down in an orderly fashion for maintenance without affecting product quality. I don't support the union in this case, but I also don't support the court. I must just be a crank. But this is really a boon for Samsung. Seems like they can do anything like those stereotypical big corporations from some movies like Robocop, for example. Maybe we will get some innovative, yet ethically dubious products from them in the future. Reply

bigdragon South Korea? More like Samsung Korea based on what this injunction says. We need to get back to a paradigm of governments being for the people rather than corporate stooges. Everyone at Samsung deserves to benefit from the company's incredible greed good fortune rather than only the executives and investors. Reply
hotaru251 Now, the aforementioned court has said that staffing levels required to maintain safety, prevent damage to the facility, and maintain product quality "must remain at normal levels," FT reports. so effectively courts entirely negate the strikes purpose to reduce staffing to harm company financially?
