Adding to pressure on the union, a South Korean court partially granted Samsung’s request for an injunction, ordering the union to ensure any strike did not disrupt production.

The ruling means that a strike must not lead to the degradation of materials used in production, while operations related to safety and avoiding product damage must be maintained at normal levels, a court spokesperson said by telephone.

So… they can stop producing chips?

It sounds like time for some malicious compliance. Go back to work, but spill stuff and "accidentally" cause damage to the machines. Make this option even worse for them then just letting them strike.

degradation of materials used in production

If materials can oxidize or otherwise expire, they'd have to use up those materials, which means that whole part of the line keeps running.

And then oops, guys, we couldn't get this delivery canceled in time. The parts are gonna go bad if we don't use them, so... Strike week after next?

Oops your 2.5B Won lithography machine somehow dismantled itself.

Wild how that happens, eh? Total shame that all the workers were too distracted thinking about how they should be striking to notice how it happened, too.

Yeah, I'll use them to prop up this table... Oh some of them can be used to make shadow puppets... Maybe some can be used to ensure proper efficiency of the garbage trucks...
