<div id="readability-page-1"><div> By Kwanwoo Jun <pre></pre> Samsung Electronics' talks with its labor union failed to reach an agreement over how the company's massive profits are distributed, raising the likelihood of a strike next week. The world's largest memory-chip maker said its union declared negotiations had collapsed early Wednesday, after days of intensive talks supported by the South Korean government. Unionized Samsung workers in South Korea are planning to strike from May 21 to June 7. Samsung said it regretted the union's action, which it said causes concern and anxiety not only to the company but also to shareholders and the public. &#34;The company will continue its efforts to prevent the worst-case scenario through sincere dialogue until the very end,&#34; Samsung said. Union leaders said they would seek to remove legal obstacles to a strike, referring to management's attempt to halt the industrial action in a local court. Samsung's management and its union are at odds over how Samsung's booming profits are shared. Samsung's earnings have recently surged on strong demand for memory used in artificial intelligence applications. The company last month posted a nearly sixfold surge in first-quarter net profit while reporting record quarterly revenue and operating profit. The union wants the company to allocate 15% of its annual operating profit to employee bonuses. Management has rejected the union's demand, as it would exceed the company's bonus cap, currently set at 50% of annual salary. The union wants this cap removed. In 2024, unionized Samsung workers went on strike for the first time to press for higher wages and better working conditions but the action didn't disrupt operations at the company's heavily automated chip-making facilities in South Korea. The company shares were 0.2% higher in early Wednesday trading. <pre></pre> Write to Kwanwoo Jun at kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com <pre></pre> (END) Dow Jones Newswires May 13, 2026 00:31 ET (04:31 GMT)Copyright (c) 2026 Dow Jones &amp; Company, Inc.</div></div>

三星电子与其工会的谈判未能达成一致，罢工的可能性从 5 月 21 日增加到 6 月 7 日。工会要求将年度营业利润的 15% 作为奖金，而管理层对此表示拒绝，称奖金上限为薪资的 50%。三星对这一情况表示遗憾，这引发了股东和公众的担忧。该公司最近报告称，由于对内存芯片的强劲需求，利润大幅增长。早盘交易中，股价上涨了 0.2%
