Samsung Electronics has warned its striking workers in southern India they will not receive wages if they continue protesting and also face the risk of termination, a company email showed, escalating a dispute between the company and its employees.

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.

As the strike at Samsung Electronics' Indian plant continues, the company has reportedly filed a lawsuit against union members, further escalating tensions between multinational corporations and local workers in India,
