Wage Protests at Samsung’s India Plant Highlight Growing Worker Mobilization in Electronics Sector

Samsung’s Tamil Nadu plant has seen its production grind to a halt amid a worker strike led by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU). As India’s electronics manufacturing industry grows under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, this five-day protest over wage issues has put a spotlight on the treatment of workers in the sector. With companies like Samsung, Foxconn, and others investing heavily in India, labor rights and wage negotiations are becoming key challenges for multinational corporations.
