India has emerged as an attractive production base to replace China, the ‘factory of the world.’ But I went there
Samsung Electronics is currently facing a massive strike involving over 1,000 employees:
The reason why the name ‘Second China’ became ‘Silky Finger’ is given in 3 numbers.
Here is a summary.

1. Demand for 100% wage increase and ‘35 hours a week’ work
The union currently on strike will raise wages by more than 1,009% within three years and work hours will be reduced to the current weekly level.
They are asking for it to be reduced from 48 hours to 35 hours. Already 1.8 times the local average wage
Even though it is being announced, conditions are being put forward that are difficult to accept based on common sense.

It is a key production base that occupies the framework: If the strike becomes prolonged, Samsung’s entire Indian business will be affected.
This can result in significant production and operational disruptions:
