Micron says it has reached agreement with Taiwan union
Micron and the Taichung union signed a labor agreement as the company and Taoyuan workers remained split over profit-sharing and bonuses.
- On Wednesday, Micron Technology Inc. signed a labor-management agreement with the union representing its Taichung operations, prompting both sides to withdraw from mediation scheduled for Thursday.
- Unions representing employees in both Taichung and Taoyuan have demanded a permanent profit-sharing plan allocating 15% of Micron's operating profits to quarterly bonuses, criticizing the company's existing incentive pay for lacking transparency.
- Micron employs about 15,000 people in Taiwan, with 12,300 workers in Taichung and about 3,000 in Taoyuan, of whom about 11,000 and 2,400 respectively belong to the local unions.
- Despite the Taichung agreement, the Taoyuan union dispute remains unresolved and the union has not canceled its planned one-day strike scheduled for Thursday, originally timed to coincide with mediation.
- The AI boom has boosted memory chipmakers including Micron, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix, while simultaneously sharpening worker demands for a greater share of operating profits and raising supply chain risks.
