Samsung apologises to sick factory workers
Samsung has formally apologised to employees who fell sick or died after working in its factories.
In the apology, Samsung president Kim Ki-nam said staff and families had "suffered" because the South Korean company had been too slow to act.
Earlier this month Samsung agreed a compensation deal for workers who fell ill while on its production lines.
The apology follows a campaign to win redress for staff by Hwang Sang-ki, the father of one Samsung worker who died.

"Beloved colleagues and families have suffered for a long time, but Samsung Electronics failed to take care of the matter earlier," said Mr Kim, adding that the company had "lacked being considerate".
