Strike at Samsung's Memory Chip Plants Threatens to Disrupt AI Boom The impending labor strike at Samsung's memory chip plants has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, with implications far beyond the Korean conglomerate's own bottom line.
As the world's leading manufacturer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and high bandwidth memory (HBM), Samsung plays a crucial role in powering the AI infrastructure that underpins modern computing.
The strike, set to begin on May 21, involves nearly 45,000 unionized workers and could last for up to 18 days.
