Samsung will 100% fire them all. South Korean laws are made by Samsung anyways

South Korean strikes are handled differently from company to company. Hyundai is more traditional, outward striking, but Samsung employees have strategies of taking mass PTO around holidays to obscure who is striking and who is actually taking holiday leave. Samsung absolutely has a 0% tolerance for Unions and striking, but there do exist labor efforts among Samsung workers.
