Samsung chip output falls amid worker wage protest

Production of foundry and memory chips at Samsung Electronics facilities in South Korea dropped sharply during Thursday’s overnight shift, falling by 58% and 18% respectively, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

The decline came as unionised workers attended a rally demanding higher wages, according to the company’s union.

The protest disrupted operations at key chip plants.

Samsung declined to comment on the situation.
