CHENNAI, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics' ( SSNLF ) Indian

unit has sued members of a labour union that has led a strike

for 11 days at its only home appliances plant in the southern

state of Tamil Nadu, legal papers show.

Samsung's lawsuit dated Sept. 12, which Reuters

is first to report, asks a district court in the state for a

temporary injunction restraining the union and its members from

agitating, sloganeering and making speeches in and around the

factory located near Chennai.

The case is likely to be heard on Thursday.
