Micron Taiwan Workers Plan Strike Over Profit-Sharing Dispute
Workers at Micron Technology's Taiwan plants in Taoyuan and Taichung plan a strike starting Thursday to demand a fairer profit-sharing system amid rising company revenues driven by global chip demand. The Taoyuan union, representing hundreds of workers, aims to pressure Micron during mediation talks for a concrete profit-sharing proposal, seeking a one-off bonus and a permanent quarterly bonus system. Micron has offered bonuses but negotiations continue, with strike duration yet unspecified.
