Samsung Electronics' management and its labour union resumed talks on Wednesday with only one day to go before a planned major strike that threatens the health of South Korea's economy and could disrupt the global supply of semiconductors. Under intense pressure from the government and business groups to avert a strike, the two sides are seeking to hash out a deal on bonus payments before nearly 48,000 workers walk off the job for 18 days on Thursday.
