More than 1,000 workers at the Samsung Electronics factory in southern India have continued their strike into its second month, rejecting a recent settlement offer from the company. The workers, stationed at a facility near Chennai in Tamil Nadu, are demanding higher wages and official recognition of their union, as per a recent report by Reuters.
A strike at Samsung's Sriperumbudur plant in Tamil Nadu has brought attention to India's powerful labour group, the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), which is backing the protests and signalling its intent to expand its influence in the electronics manufacturing sector.
