Samsung bonus split sparks union bid for injunction as memory unit pockets $400k
Samsung’s new performance bonus plan would see memory-focused employees earn around 600 million won (~$400k) this year, while mobile division workers may receive about 6 million won (~$4k), a roughly 100x gap that has prompted a union to seek a court injunction. Memory/semiconductor staff also get a 40% share of the total bonus pool plus a profit-linked special bonus; shareholders are threatening a lawsuit as deal ratification votes begin.
