Samsung Electronics denies allegations of bullying subcontractor
Samsung Electronics on March 4 issued a statement rejecting a report that the Fair Trade Commission has launched an investigation after receiving a complaint alleging unfair termination of outsourcing involving a U.S. subcontractor linked to its 5G business. The report said the subcontractor moved its plant from Irvine, California, to Dallas, Texas, and later saw orders fall sharply before they stopped. Samsung said it did not force a relocation and that the decline reflected lack of customer orders.
