内容总结:
三星工会与公司达成临时协议,暂停原定于5月21日举行的罢工
韩国三星电子最大规模工会近日宣布,在与公司就奖金问题达成临时协议后,已决定暂停原定于5月21日发起的罢工行动。此次罢工原计划持续18天,涉及近4.8万名员工,其中大部分来自三星最赚钱的业务部门——存储芯片制造,若按计划进行,不仅将给公司带来巨额财务损失,也将对韩国整体经济造成严重影响。
工会领导人崔胜浩表示,工会会员将于5月22日至27日就临时协议进行投票表决,最终协议将在投票结果出炉后正式生效。三星公司在声明中表示:“我们将以谦逊的态度,构建更加成熟、更具建设性的劳资关系,确保此类事件不再发生。”
此次罢工的导火索是劳资双方在奖金问题上的谈判破裂。工会方面要求公司取消相当于员工年薪50%的奖金上限,并希望将公司年营业利润的15%用于发放奖金,理由是竞争对手SK海力士已对员工实施了类似政策。工会指出,去年SK海力士员工的奖金是三星员工的三倍,部分三星员工因此跳槽至SK海力士。
据路透社报道,三星已同意取消奖金上限,并将年营业利润的10.5%用于员工奖金发放。韩联社报道称,其中40%的奖金将分配给存储芯片部门员工,其余60%由公司其他部门员工分享。虽然这一比例低于工会最初要求的15%,但已高于SK海力士向员工发放的10%利润分红。此外,奖金发放还设置了业绩门槛:存储芯片部门需在2026年至2028年间实现至少200万亿韩元(约合1330亿美元)的利润,并在2029年至2035年间实现100万亿韩元(约合660亿美元)的利润,部分奖金将以公司股票形式支付,锁定期至少10年。
在工会宣布罢工计划后,韩国政府迅速介入调解。韩国劳动部长金永勋亲自担任调解人,促使双方在罢工宣布后数小时内重启谈判。作为全球最大存储芯片制造商,三星贡献了韩国GDP的12.5%,仅2026年第一季度营业利润就达53.7万亿韩元(约合356.3亿美元)。韩国国务总理金敏硕此前表示,若罢工持续18天,直接损失可能高达1万亿韩元(约合6.69亿美元),而若在罢工期间将已投产的半导体报废,整体经济损失或将达到100万亿韩元(约合660亿美元)。

三星工会就奖金问题达成临时协议后暂停罢工
此次罢工本将影响三星的存储芯片生产。
三星电子在韩国最大的工会与公司达成临时协议后,已暂停原定于5月21日开始的罢工。近4.8万名员工原计划参与此次为期18天的罢工。由于这些员工大多来自三星最赚钱的存储芯片部门,此次行动本可能对公司乃至整个韩国经济造成巨大财务冲击。
工会领导人崔胜浩宣布,工会成员将于5月22日至27日对临时协议进行投票。最终协议需待投票结束后才能达成。三星在一份声明中表示:“我们将以谦逊的态度,构建更成熟、更具建设性的劳资关系,确保此类事件不再发生。”
回顾事件起因,工人们在与三星就奖金问题的谈判破裂后决定罢工。他们要求公司取消奖金上限——该上限相当于员工年薪的50%,而竞争对手SK海力士已为员工取消了这一上限。此外,工会还要求三星将年度营业利润的15%划入奖金池。工会指出,另一家韩国半导体制造商SK海力士去年为员工发放的奖金是三星员工的三倍,甚至导致部分三星员工跳槽至SK海力士。
据路透社报道,三星已同意取消奖金上限,并将年度营业利润的10.5%用于员工奖金。韩联社报道称,奖金池中的40%将分配给存储芯片部门员工,其余60%由三星其他部门分配。协议中的奖金比例虽低于工会要求的15%,但高于SK海力士向员工支付的10%利润比例。员工奖金将取决于存储部门在2026年至2028年实现至少200万亿韩元(约1330亿美元)利润,并在2029年至2035年实现至少100万亿韩元(约660亿美元)利润。三星将以公司股票形式支付部分奖金,锁定期至少为10年。
工会宣布罢工计划后不久,政府便介入调解。罢工宣布数小时后,劳资双方在韩国劳动部长金荣勋的斡旋下重启谈判。毕竟,三星贡献了韩国GDP的12.5%。作为全球最大存储芯片制造商,三星仅2026年第一季度营业利润就达53.7万亿韩元(约356.3亿美元)。韩国国务总理金敏硕此前表示,若罢工持续18天,直接损失可能达1万亿韩元(约6.69亿美元)。但若罢工期间三星销毁已投产的半导体,总经济损失可能高达100万亿韩元(约660亿美元)。

Samsung union suspends strike after reaching tentative deal on bonuses
The strike would have impacted Samsung's memory chip production.
Samsung's largest labor union in South Korea has suspended the strike that was set to begin on May 21 after reaching a tentative deal with the company. Nearly 48,000 workers would have walked out for the strike, which was scheduled to last for 18 days. And since most of those workers belong to Samsung's memory division, its biggest moneymaker, it could have had a huge financial impact on the company and on South Korea as a whole.
Union leader Choi Seung-ho has announced that the unionized workers will vote on the tentative agreement from May 22 to 27. A final agreement will only be reached after voting is done. "With a humble attitude, we will build a more mature and constructive labour-management relationship to ensure that such an incident never happens again," Samsung said in a statement.
If you'll recall, the workers decided to stage a walkout out after negotiations with Samsung fell through on the issue of bonuses. They wanted the company to remove the cap on their bonuses, which was equivalent to 50 percent of their annual salaries, like rival SK Hynix did for its employees. They were also pushing for Samsung to allocate 15 percent of its annual operating profit to the bonus pool. The union argued that SK Hynix, another South Korean semiconductor maker, gave its employees bonuses that were three times higher than what Samsung's workers got last year. Some Samsung personnel even left for SK Hynix as a result.
According to Reuters, Samsung has agreed to abolish the cap and to set aside 10.5 percent of its annual operating profits for its employees. Yonhap News has reported that 40 percent of the bonus pool will go to memory chip division workers, while the rest of Samsung's units will divide 60 percent among themselves. The agreed-upon percentage is lower than the union's ask of 15 percent, but it's higher than the 10 percent of profit SK Hynix is paying out to its people. Workers' bonuses are contingent on the memory division making at least KRW 200 trillion ($133 billion) in profit from 2026 to 2028 and KRW 100 trillon ($66 billion) from 2029 to 2035. Samsung will pay part of those bonuses in company stock for at least 10 years.
It didn't take long after the union announced its planned walkout for the government to step in. Talks restarted mere hours after the strike was announced, with South Korean Labor Minister Kim Young-hoon serving as mediator. Samsung, after all, accounts for 12.5 percent of South Korea's GDP. The company is the world's largest memory chip maker and made KRW 53.7 trillion ($35.63 billion) in operating profit for the first quarter of 2026 alone. South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok previously said that direct losses from the 18-day strike could reach KRW 1 trillion ($669 million). The total economic impact of the walkout, however, could reach KRW 100 trillion ($66 billion) if Samsung scrapped the semiconductors already in production while the protest was ongoing.
