Unionized employees at Samsung Electronics are currently voting on a tentative wage agreement that introduces a specialized bonus structure for the semiconductor division.

三星電子的工會員工目前正在就一份暫定薪資協議進行投票，該協議為半導體部門引入了特殊的獎金結構。

The proposed agreement, ratified by management and a joint bargaining group, stipulates an average salary increase of 6.2 percent, comprising a 4.1 percent base adjustment and a 2.1 percent performance-linked increment. Central to the contention is the establishment of a special management performance bonus for the Device Solutions (DS) division, funded by 10.5 percent of its operating profit. Given projected operating profits of 300 trillion won, this mechanism could allocate approximately 31.5 trillion won to chip-sector employees. Consequently, memory division personnel may receive total bonuses reaching 600 million won, while non-memory semiconductor staff are projected to receive 210 million won via a DS-wide distribution formula.

該擬議協議已由管理層和聯合議價小組批准，規定平均調薪 6.2%，其中包含 4.1% 的基本調整和 2.1% 的績效連動調薪。爭議的核心在於為設備方案 (DS) 部門設立特殊的管理績效獎金，其資金來源為該部門營業利潤的 10.5%。鑑於預計營業利潤為 300 兆韓元，此機制可能會撥款約 31.5 兆韓元給晶片部門員工。因此，記憶體部門的人員可能獲得總計 6 億韓元的獎金，而非記憶體半導體員工則預計透過 DS 全體分配公式獲得 2.1 億韓元。

Conversely, personnel within the Device eXperience (DX) division, responsible for consumer electronics and mobile devices, are projected to receive significantly lower compensation, potentially limited to 6 million won in company shares. This disparity, which may reach a tenfold magnitude, has precipitated a surge in membership for the Samsung Electronics Donghaeng Labor Union, which grew from 2,600 to over 12,000 members. The DX-aligned unions contend that the current framework fails to recognize the division's role in maintaining corporate stability during previous semiconductor downturns and argue that the bonus system fosters institutional fragmentation.

相反地，負責消費電子產品和行動裝置的設備體驗 (DX) 部門人員，預計獲得的補償將顯著較低，可能僅限於 600 萬韓元的公司股票。這種可能高達十倍的差距，導致三星電子同行工會 (Donghaeng Labor Union) 的會員人數激增，從 2,600 人成長至 12,000 多人。DX 傾向的工會主張，目前的框架未能認可該部門在先前半導體低迷時期維持公司穩定的角色，並認為該獎金制度助長了制度性的分裂。

Furthermore, a procedural dispute has emerged regarding the eligibility of Donghaeng members to participate in the electronic vote. The Samsung Electronics Labor Union asserts that Donghaeng's withdrawal from the joint bargaining group nullifies its voting rights. Donghaeng leadership characterizes this exclusion as an unlawful abuse of discretion, citing previous precedents where non-bargaining members participated in votes. Additionally, union representatives have questioned the inclusion of a clause requiring the mutual withdrawal of civil and criminal lawsuits, suggesting that such legal actions may have been utilized as leverage during negotiations.

此外，關於同行工會成員參與電子投票的資格，也出現了程序爭議。三星電子工會聲稱，同行工會退出聯合議價小組即使其投票權失效。同行工會領導層將此排除行為定性為違法濫用裁量權，並引用先前非議價成員參與投票的先例。此外，工會代表質疑協議中包含要求互撤民事及刑事訴訟的條款，暗示此類法律行動可能在談判期間被用作籌碼。

The agreement will become binding upon a majority approval by a quorum of eligible voters; however, the legitimacy of the result remains contested by DX-aligned labor representatives.

該協議將在達到法定人數且多數合格選民通過後具有約束力；然而，DX 傾向的勞工代表仍對結果的合法性持有異議。
