    Projected losses. Don’t let them trick you into thinking they didn’t choose this and haven’t already made enough money to survive this.

    What’s the point of scheduled and planned strikes with expected start and stop dates?

      Courtesy? The chip fab process takes multiple days to complete and stopping mid way could theoretically damage the machines.

      Or maybe they want to have a job to come back to after the successful strike

      Well the point of the strike is for the workers to flex their power, with a hope of gaining more favourable outcomes in the negotiations. Along those lines, just the threat of a strike could be enough to force Samsung to make a better offer — especially after the news of the impending strike hit the news a few days ago

      In an ideal world, the workers wouldn’t have to be striking at all, so it’s reasonable to at least try to avoid that outcome
