The Seoul Central District Court ruled that outsourced service technicians shall not be regarded as the regular workers of Samsung Electronics over the legal dispute on the employment relationship in relation to the management independence of outsourced companies.

The Samsung Electronic Union Local claimed that outsourced service technicians are under the task control and supervision of Samsung Electronics which pays wages, provides training and disciplines the workers in direct or indirect manners. Samsung Electronics rebutted the union's allegation and denied the direct control and supervision on the service technicians.
