Samsung Electronics senior executives request the inclusion of the ‘52-hour workweek exception’ in the semiconductor special law
He directly appealed to the National Assembly and the opposition party. The government and the ruling party are engaged in semiconductor research and development (R8D)
We are pushing for a 52-hour-a-week exception to the calendar (white truck, dotted line), but we do not have the authority to make decisions.
This is because the Democratic Party of Korea is opposing it.

According to Samsung Electronics, even if 52 hours a week exception is introduced in the special law, the actual target of application is Samsung.
Among the total 121,500 employees in electronics, there are only 6,000-7,000, or 59th place.
Even considering the 75,000 employees in the semiconductor division that were emphasized this year, it is around 9%.
Samsung Electronics also plans to reduce the special law period to 3 years instead of introducing an exception limit of 52 hours a week.
There is also a proposal to the National Assembly. The deadline for the special law to take effect until 2035

Samsung Electronics said, “We have no intention of destroying the foundation of the current 52-hour workweek system.”
“Even if working hours are flexible, continuous work is prohibited for more than 7 days with long breaks per working day.
The health rights of workers will be protected by providing health protection options such as long-term vacation after the end of the assignment.
