Unionized workers at Samsung Biologics Co., the biotech arm of Samsung Group, continued their first general strike for a fifth day Tuesday, demanding higher wages and expanded performance-based compensation. The walkout began Friday, with about 2,800 members out of the union's 4,000 members taking part, according to the union. It marks the first strike since the company's establishment in 2011. After wrapping up the five-day strike, the union plans to shift to a work-to-rule campaign Wednesday.
