For the past 11 days, about 1,500 workers of South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics have been striking work in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, leading to major disruptions in production.

As the labour dispute at Samsung India Electronics escalates, the company has now issued a show cause notice to the workers who have gone on strike and warned them that they will not be paid wages unless they report back to their duties.

Production at a key Samsung Electronics plant in southern India was disrupted by hundreds of employees striking for higher wages on Tuesday, as top executives sought to resolve a rare episode of labor unrest.
