For the past 11 days, about 1,500 workers of South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics have been striking work in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, leading to major disruptions in production.

Samsung workers at the electronics giant’s facility in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu are on a prolonged strike demanding improved wages, union recognition, and better working conditions.

Production at a key Samsung Electronics plant in southern India was disrupted by hundreds of employees striking for higher wages on Tuesday, as top executives sought to resolve a rare episode of labor unrest.

The strike in Samsung India follows recent wage protests in South Korea where 36,500 members from its biggest workers' union went on strike in July and August.

Samsung workers in Tamil Nadu protest for fair wages and working conditions, sparking a significant labor movement in India.

Samsung workers at its India plant will continue their strike for the fifth day after negotiations involving the union, company management, and state government officials failed to produce a settlement.
