Micron Union in Taiwan to Launch Strike as Bonus Dispute Escalates
The union says 1,994 members backed strike action after mediation failed, as workers seek a permanent profit-sharing plan tied to operating profit.
- Micron Technology workers in Taoyuan, Taiwan, will launch a strike on Thursday, coinciding with a mediation session involving the company's largest facility in Taichung and escalating a dispute over profit-sharing.
- Members of the Taoyuan union voted 1,994 to 2,258 in early October to authorize strike action, seeking a permanent 15% operating profit allocation to employees after September mediation ended without agreement.
- Micron reported $99.3 billion in fiscal 2026 operating income and has invested $49 billion in Taiwan, though management maintains the existing rewards package is separate from the ongoing labor dispute.
- Union leaders stated they aim to "demonstrate our determination to establish a fair profit-sharing system," using the solidarity strike to pressure Micron for a concrete proposal on bonuses.
- Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te urged both sides to negotiate "sincerely" as the Taichung facility—Micron's largest base with roughly 10,000 workers—prepares for Thursday mediation that could trigger a broader strike vote.
