SEOUL — A union representing tens of thousands of workers at South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics told AFP on Tuesday it would hold a three-day strike later this month after negotiations failed.

'Starting from July 8, we will stage a three-day general strike,' Lee Hyun-kuk, vice president of the National Samsung Electronics Union, told AFP.The union announced the strike late Monday in a live YouTube broadcast without providing the dates.The move follows a one-day walkout in June, the first such collective action at the company, which went decades without unionization.

In calling for the strike, the union said that 'management created this state' by failing to offer significant concessions.'What will change if we do not act? Will you just watch and do nothing? Will you be a hidden slave or an active owner? Nothing will change if we do not act,' its statement said.'All employees need to participate in the strike. Let's step up and change it!'Samsung declined a request for comment.
