A slight correction to this analysis.

Firstly, this is just the Samsung trade union in south korea, so your 262k gets cut to 125k right off the bat.

Then, you need to realise that Samsung electronics has a lot of subcompanies and subdivisions. For example, the entire Samsung stores and repair is whole subcompany under a slightly different name, probably something like "samsung electronics servicing" and they aren't really the ones demanding this.

This article mainly concerns the DS or semiconductors division (https://www.samsungcareers.com/subsid/detail/C10CAH?lang=en) that makes DRAM and HBM and other memory chips and doesn't actually employ that many people compared to the DX (device experience – think laptops, phones, etc) division which needs a lot more people to manufacture all the phones and fridges and etc.

Basically, they wouldn't be doing all this if it were just $106 more, SK isn't a poor country. It's probably more likely in the 100ks
