Samsung Solidarity pointed out that "Samsung Electronics executives and senior officials from the Business Support TF have continuously been dispatched to each affiliate under the pretext of injecting Samsung Electronics' excellent DNA."
To improve such a vertical and closed organizational culture and personnel practices, Samsung Solidarity presented demands including ▲ direct communication from Chairman Lee Jae-yong ▲ self-selection of management with expertise suitable for each affiliate ▲ improvement of wage, personnel, and evaluation systems through a labor-management joint TF.
