The catch is that it took threatening a strike to get to this concession, and even after they were projected to lose (I think) more than a billion a day. This isn’t a free gift out of nowhere, but a hard fought victory for the union
Samsungs stakeholders cannot capitalize on the whole 8-fold growth, as a part of that goes to the workers who actually produce the goods.
If you really want a catch, thats the only one I can think of.
Right, but the question of “what’s the catch” frames it as a bad thing, so it’s not incorrect to assume that the answer is a bad thing, especially if the answer doesn’t frame it as a good thing
But I’m just arguing semantics, and nothing I said actually matters.
That’s a lot. Sounds like good news. What’s the catch?

Oh no! Won’t anybody think of the shareholder?! /s
It just might be that it’s cheaper than disruption
How is that bad news? That’s how strikes work.
They didn’t say it’s bad news
They were asking what the bad news is, though.
Sometimes there is no bad news but an explanation.

I’m fine with there being no catch and everybody gaining. They shouldn’t have to strike for it though.
well otherwise they could just wait it out
