Over 1,500 striking workers at the Samsung Electronics factory in southern India have turned down a settlement offer made by the company. The strike, which started on September 9, is the largest labor dispute in India in recent years. Housed in makeshift tents close to the factory, located near Chennai, the workers, who account for more than 80% of the workforce, are demanding higher wages and Samsung India Workers Union (SIWU) recognition.
