Samsung Group's major labor union, the Samsung Electronics branch, is set to reorganize around the Device Solutions (DS) division, which oversees semiconductor operations.
According to the results of the '2026 5th General Assembly' announced by the union on September 19, a proposed amendment to the union's regulations, allowing only workers from the DS division to join, was approved with 96.3% support from 28,068 voters.
The total number of eligible voters was 51,350, and the voting took place from September 16 to September 19.
With this amendment, membership in the major union will be limited to workers in the DS division. Current members from the Device Experience (DX) division will be processed for withdrawal from the union.
Additionally, a vote of no confidence against Lee Song-yi, the deputy chairperson from the DX division, and Lee Won-il, the head of the Gwangju chapter, was also passed.
As a result, internal conflicts within the union regarding performance bonuses and organizational direction appear to be settling with the reorganization centered on the DS division.
