Samsung Workers: The strike at Samsung’s Chennai plant, which has been going on since September 9, has not ended even after a month has passed.

Samsung’s revenue likely to suffer a major blow
The strike at this Samsung Electronics plant has entered its fourth week. This is being considered as the biggest strike in the country in the last few years. In this plant the company manufactures products like refrigerators, TVs and washing machines. Due to this strike which started before the festive season, there is a possibility of a big blow to the company’s revenue. Despite all efforts, no solution seems to be emerging.
