Samsung Super Union Claims Majority Status

Members of the Samsung Group Super Union hold a press conference in front of the Samsung Electronics Seocho building in Seoul, South Korea, on April 17, 2026. A chart displayed during the event shows the union's growth, increasing from 6,000 members before September 2025 to 74,000 as of April 2026, surpassing the threshold required for majority union status. This increase grants the union official bargaining power representing more than half of the workforce at Samsung Electronics. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
