    Quick read of the article and it only shows “$” and not ₩. So I assume that means USD.

    That’s a big payout, and it shows how much we’re getting gouged for memory prices.

    E: it’s ₩. Jessica found a better article.

      OP’s article sucks. It is all in Won according to this article from Tom’s hardware

      https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsungs-last-ditch-union-talks-collapse-eight-days-before-planned-18-day-chip-factory-strike

      Professor Song Heon-jae of the University of Seoul puts the figure higher, projecting losses of approximately 1 trillion won ($700 million) per day from factory shutdowns, Seoul Economic Daily reported on April 26.

      So Samsung offered like $225 USD for a one time bonus to these employees. No wonder they’re striking

        Ah, that makes more sense. $225 is minimal for a “bonus” payout. Thanks for finding a better source.
