[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The prosecution requested the same three-year prison sentence as the original trial in the appellate trial of Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Kang Kyung-hoon, who was indicted on charges of attempting to dismantle the Samsung Everland labor union.

On the 20th, the prosecution asked the court to deliver such a sentence at the appellate trial decision hearing of Vice Chairman Kang and others held under the jurisdiction of the 10th Criminal Division of the Seoul High Court (Presiding Judges Won Ik-seon, Im Young-woo, Shin Yong-ho). In the first trial, the prosecution had requested three years in prison each for Vice Chairman Kang and former Everland Executive Director Lee, and one to two years in prison for other current and former Everland officials.

Vice Chairman Kang and others were indicted on charges of obstructing union activities at Everland by establishing a company-friendly union based on labor-management strategies while working at Samsung Group’s Future Strategy Office from June 2011 to March 2018. The first trial court recognized most of Vice Chairman Kang’s charges as guilty and sentenced him to one year and four months in prison, while former Everland Executive Director Lee was sentenced to ten months in prison. Additionally, about ten current and former Everland employees received sentences ranging from six to ten months in prison with two years of probation and fines.
