SRIPERUMBUDUR, India (Reuters) -- Hundreds of workers at Samsung Electronics' southern India plant boycotted work for a third day on Wednesday to demand better wages and working conditions, disrupting output at a consumer electronics facility key for the global tech giant.

The plant, which makes products such as televisions, refrigerators and washing machines, contributes between 20% and 30% of Samsung's annual $12 billion revenue in India, a key growth market for the company, sources have previously said.
