Micron Workers at Taiwan Plant Vote in Favour of Strike
- On Wednesday, hundreds of workers at a Micron Technology plant in Taoyuan voted to strike after bonus negotiations with the U.S. memory chip giant collapsed.
- The Micron Taiwan Union rejected an offer of up to 68 months of pay, arguing the package is "clearly lagging behind" competitors and demanding a permanent 15% profit-sharing system.
- With 99% of voters in favor, 1,994 employees authorized the strike at the Taoyuan facility, which Micron describes as its "critical hub" for producing AI memory chips.
- Demands follow recent labour disputes at Samsung Electronics in South Korea, where the company averted a strike by agreeing to distribute bonuses equivalent to 10.5% of operating profit.
- The Taichung union, representing around 11,000 workers, confirmed separate negotiations with Micron will continue as scheduled despite the strike action in Taoyuan.
