Samsung attempts to cover up industrial accidents with money
: Employees and bereaved family members say Samsung withheld consolation money until suits were dropped to dodge court recognition of industrial accidents
July 13, 2010
By Heo Jae-hyeon
A number of people have come forward and claimed that Samsung Electronics has offered large settlements to employees and their families in order to persuade them to drop industrial accident claims. Employees filed the claims after contracting diseases such as leukemia while working in the company’s semiconductor and liquid crystal display (LCD) plants. Surviving family members of employees who have already died from diseases, as well as employees currently suffering from disease and their family members, have claimed that Samsung has offered hundreds of millions of won in settlements in order to persuade them to drop their industrial accident claims and terminate contact with civic organizations.
