SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics and representatives of its biggest workers’ union in South Korea, which has been on a strike, met on Tuesday but the talks ended without results, the union said.<\/p>\n

Since earlier this month, the union has been on an indefinite strike over pay and benefits.<\/p>\n

The gap between the two sides is too wide to reach any agreement, Lee Hyun-kuk, vice president of the National Samsung Electronics Union whose roughly 30,000 members make up almost a quarter of the company’s South Korean workforce, said on a YouTube live broadcast.<\/p>\n

Union officials called on the company to bring a fresh offer to the negotiating table by July 29 and plan to hold ultimate talks with the company through July 31, they said.<\/p>\n

Analysts have said a drawn-out strike by key personnel will add to challenges for Samsung, the world’s biggest memory chipmaker, which is struggling to navigate competition in semiconductors used for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Samsung has said the strike has caused no disruption to chip production.<\/p>\n
