Micron Taiwan employees have shown strong support for a strike over bonus pay, with a preliminary survey indicating 80% backing a labor action, while the union seeks to replace the existing bonus structure with a profit‑sharing model. The memory chip maker, which benefits from heightened demand for AI‑driven high‑bandwidth memory, reported $41.46 billion in revenue and $28.24 billion in net income, with its HBM segment contributing more than a third of total revenue and most of its production and HBM output located in Taiwan, where 60% of its global capacity resides. The union’s proposal mirrors profit‑sharing arrangements at Samsung and SK Hynix, which have distributed bonuses equivalent to up to 10.5% of company profits and 10% respectively, with individual payouts reaching $400,000. Formal mediation discussions are slated to begin by mid‑September, a prerequisite for a strike vote under Taiwanese labor law. Although Micron has not confirmed whether workers at its other sites will be affected, the company faces potential production disruptions that could impact earnings, and previous Samsung negotiations resulted in a last‑minute agreement that averted a strike. The outcome of the mediation talks will determine the structure of any new compensation agreement, and the broader implications for labor relations across Micron’s global workforce remain uncertain.
