India: Police detain 600 striking Samsung workers at protest

Thousands of employees of the South Korean company have been on strike since September 9. They are demanding better wages, 8-hour working days, and union recognition.

Indian police on Tuesday detained around 600 employees of Samsung Electronics, one of the world’s largest semiconductor and computer chip manufacturers, and union members for organizing a street protest.

For the past four weeks, thousands of employees of the South Korean company in India have been on strike over their working conditions near the factory in Chennai and at other locations.

According to senior state police official Charles Sam Rajadurai, the protesters were detained because their march was causing public inconvenience.

    These people get paid $300/month working at a plant that generates $12 billion / year. Samsung has always been evil, a shit company that makes shit products, spreading pollution everywhere it goes.
