OP's article sucks. It is all in Won according to this article from Tom's hardware

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsungs-last-ditch-union-talks-collapse-eight-days-before-planned-18-day-chip-factory-strike

Professor Song Heon-jae of the University of Seoul puts the figure higher, projecting losses of approximately 1 trillion won ($700 million) per day from factory shutdowns, Seoul Economic Daily reported on April 26.

So Samsung offered like $225 USD for a one time bonus to these employees. No wonder they're striking

Ah, that makes more sense. $225 is minimal for a “bonus” payout. Thanks for finding a better source.
