Facing its first labor strike since allowing unions to represent its workers in 2020, Samsung Electronics has responded by saying that it would continue “making every sincere effort to come to an agreement” with the NSEU to meet workers’ demands.

Given Samsung Electronics’ position as the “world’s largest maker of memory chips, smartphones and televisions,” a longer strike could have adverse worldwide effects.
鑑於三星電子為「全球最大的記憶晶片、智慧型手機和電視製造商」，更長時間的罷工可能會對全球產生不利影響。

In fact, while analysts believe that a one-day labor walkout may not harm the electronics giant, a full-scale worker strike “could affect the firm’s computer chip manufacturing and impact the global supply chains of electronics.”
事實上，儘管分析師認為一日罷工可能不會對這家電子巨頭造成損害，但全面罷工「可能會影響三星的電腦晶片製造，並衝擊全球電子產品供應鏈」。
