Samsung granted court injunction as labor talks resume; unions barred from occupying facilities

Samsung obtained a court injunction halting a threatened strike, with unions now barred from occupying or locking facilities and obstructing workers. Labor talks resume under the court order, limiting disruption to the chipmaker's production capacity as it scales memory fab output.

The move comes amid Samsung's push to expand semiconductor manufacturing. Any extended work stoppage could impact DRAM and NAND supply chains, which suppliers and cloud builders depend on for data center builds.
