Samsung is a huge company accounting for around one fifth of Korea’s gross domestic product. Its supply chains reach around the world with a predominance of workers in Asia. Leaked documents show that Samsung corporate policy is to punish union leaders. Samsung Electronics intervenes actively to prevent the formation of unions at its suppliers. Dominated by Samsung, the cut-throat electronics business outsources work to a network of factories with low-paid workers in unsafe conditions. Samsung’s ‘’no-union’’ policy affects the entire Asian electronics industry. When workers in electronics factories supplying parts to Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sanyo and Canon have stood together to demand fairer wages and conditions, their leaders have been sacked.
