Workers seeking cancer compensation dispute 'final settlement' from Samsung

Electronics company says agreements simply need to be put into practice, but a victims' advocacy group counters that key issues are unresolved

Samsung Electronics announced on Tuesday that it had signed "a final settlement" for workers who contracted cancer in its semiconductor plants, but a victims' advocacy group said key issues remained unresolved.

The deal, signed by the South Korean electronics company and two groups representing the victims and their families, aims to improve health and safety conditions at all Samsung's plants.
