The world’s largest memory chip maker and its South Korean labor union will resume pay talks on Monday with a government mediator, in a move that could ease concerns over a potentially disruptive strike at the tech giant that accounts for nearly a quarter of the country’s exports.

這家全球最大的記憶體晶片製造商及其南韓工會，將於週一在政府調解員的斡旋下，恢復薪資談判。此舉有望紓解外界對這家科技巨擘可能發生破壞性罷工的擔憂，該公司占南韓出口總額的近4分之1。

“Just one day of suspension at Samsung Electronics’semiconductor factory is expected to incur direct losses of as much as 1 trillion won ,” Prime Minister Kim Min-seok said after an emergency meeting with ministers on Sunday.

南韓總理金民錫週日在與內閣部長舉行緊急會議後表示：「三星電子的半導體工廠停產1天，預計將造成高達1兆韓元（約新台幣211億元）的直接損失。」
