Riot brews at Samsung: Employees demand $6 bn and threaten a mass strike

15:36 - 16.04.2026


April 16, Fineko/abc.az. Samsung is in a riot - employees are threatening a record mass strike and demanding $6 bn.

ABC.AZ reports that the reason is Samsung's 700% increase in profit, up to $39 bn per quarter, from which the employees were allocated $0.

Employees complain that although the company earns a fortune, salaries and benefits have not increased accordingly, indicating a clear unfair profit-sharing mechanism.

The main demand of the protesters is the payment of bonuses to employees in the amount of 15% of company's annual operating profit, which will amount to approx. $6 bn.
