Micron Technology union leaders in Taiwan are threatening to strike over profit-sharing demands. The union requires a permanent plan allocating 15% of operating profit to quarterly employee bonuses.
This threat follows Micron's announcement of a one-time bonus package during active negotiations. The union represents more than 70% of the company's local workforce. This labor group includes 15,000 employees across Taiwan.
Members will proceed to a strike vote if the company fails to provide a concrete proposal within days. Taiwan serves as a critical manufacturing hub, producing over 60% of Micron's global DRAM wafers.
A work stoppage would disrupt the supply of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in artificial intelligence applications. The proposal seeks to align Micron's compensation with industry competitors Samsung and SK Hynix.
