SEOUL (Reuters) -A workers’ union at Samsung Electronics (KS:) in South Korea has called a strike for July 8-10, a union official said on Tuesday, as it steps up industrial action against the country’s most valuable company.

The union is determining how many workers will join the strike, the official told Reuters by telephone.

Son Woo-mok, leader of the union, said late on Monday that the union wants a more transparent system for bonuses and time off, and wants the company to treat it as an equal partner.

Samsung declined to comment on the union’s strike…
