Another Samsung worker, Mr. Lee, has fallen victim to Samsung’s brazen disregard for workers’ health and safety, after being diagnosed with leukaemia. Mr. Lee has filed a claim for compensation against the company. Between 2012 and 2015, Mr. Lee mixed chemicals unknown to him to make cleaners and moisture-proof insulators at a supplier for Samsung’s organic light-emitting diode operations in China. Over the two years of employment, he was not given even a single safety training session or an explanation of the chemicals he was told to mix. Samsung electronics is a brutal employer with a long history of union repression.
