Summary:  For a semi-finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal A$, we study the case of equality in Young's inequality of $s$-numbers for a pair of $\tau$-measurable operators $a,b$, and we prove that equality is only possible if $|a|^p=|b|^q$. We also extend the result to unbounded operators affiliated with $\mathcal A$, and relate this problem with other symmetric norm Young inequalities.
