Samsung Biologics union to launch second strike despite court injunction

What happened: Samsung Biologics' union is set to launch a second strike Friday, with about 400 workers expected to walk out through Nov. 27 despite a court injunction restricting action at production facilities. Key numbers: About 400 workers. Strike runs through Nov. 27. Why it matters: The union plans to expand the strike within the injunction's limits, and the injunction does not cover work with newly thawed cell lines, which could disrupt manufacturing if the strike lasts. The company said an expanded strike could make an agreement harder.
