Samsung Electronics' South Korean labor union said the company proposed resuming talks without conditions after government-mediated negotiations over pay and bonus schemes collapsed. The update signals ongoing labor tensions, but no financial figures, settlement terms, or operational impact were disclosed. Market impact is likely limited unless negotiations deteriorate further or lead to disruptions.
