Samsung's largest union voted to accept a deal giving chip workers an average $340,000 bonus, stopping a strike that could have messed with global chip supplies.
With 74% of members backing the agreement, Samsung keeps its factories running smoothly, a big deal since its chips power everything from phones to EVs.

The timing couldn't be bigger: demand for semiconductors is fueled by the AI boom.

It's clear chip workers want a fair share as their industry keeps growing fast.
