CHENNAI (Reuters) -- Police have detained 104 striking workers protesting low wages at a Samsung Electronics plant in southern India as they were planning a march on Monday without permission, officials said.
The detention marks an escalation of a strike by workers at a Samsung home appliance plant near Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu. Workers want higher wages and have boycotted work for a week, disrupting production that contributes roughly a third of Samsung's annual India revenue of $12 billion.
