Micron Taiwan Union Authorizes Strike, Threatening AI Chip Supply
Valor Econômico·TW · US·about 3 hours ago
Workers at Micron's Taoyuan plant voted overwhelmingly (1,994 of 2,012) to authorize a strike, demanding a special bonus equivalent to 83 months of salary and a permanent 15% profit-sharing scheme. The vote reflects labor unrest amid AI-driven semiconductor profits, but a strike is not yet called; negotiations continue. If realized, it could disrupt memory chip supply chains and add to industry cost pressures.
