SEOUL, Aug. 13 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co.'s labor union said Tuesday it will launch a four-day strike from Liberation Day this week, stepping up pressure over their demand for a pay raise and additional bonuses. The union and management have held several rounds of talks since January, but have been unable to narrow their differences over the wage increase rate, vacation system and bonuses. Earlier this month, the unionized workers returned to work after a 25-day strike and vowed to shift to a "long-term plan" that includes staging "blitz" walkouts.
