Micron Taiwan labor dispute: Taichung deal, Taoyuan strike plant construction halt
Labor unions representing approximately 10,000 Micron Technology employees in Taiwan have threatened strike action due to disputes over the company’s bonus structure. Workers at the Taoyuan and Taichung facilities argue that the current Incentive Performance Pay (IPP) system is opaque and fails to reflect record profits generated by the global AI boom and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) demand. Following the failure of a second mediation session on September 21, labor mediation in Taoyuan reached an impasse. The Taiwan Micron Memory Union rejected Micron’s unilateral announcement of a 1 million TWD one-time cash bonus, accusing the company of attempting to influence public perception. The Taichung union has officially signed a labor-management agreement, establishing a new compensation structure that includes a quarterly profit-sharing bonus consisting of 50% cash and 50% stock rewards for employees at the director level and below. This plan is tied to quarterly net operating income. However, some Taichung employees have since gathered signatures to demand an extraordinary general meeting to challenge the legitimacy of the settlement, and reports suggest the agreement may include terms that limit future collective bargaining rights. Conversely, the settlement. The Taoyuan union has not reached an agreement and union, which authorized a one-day warning strike on October 22. The union stated the walkout was intended to “demonstrate our determination 22, is reportedly demanding that 15% of operating profits be distributed to establish global employees and that bonuses be paid in cash rather than stock. Recent reports indicate that construction of Micron’s new Fab 11E semiconductor plant in Taoyuan, a fair profit-sharing system.” In response project valued between $3 billion and $4.5 billion, has been “all but halted” due to the split outcomes, employees from both locations protracted labor dispute. While Micron stated its Taiwan operations are working “continuing as normal” and negotiations are ongoing with city government assistance, the potential delay to establish the facility, slated for a “related enterprise union” 2028 launch, contributed to create a single entity for collective bargaining. Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has called for good-faith negotiations to avoid production disruptions at the critical Taoyuan site. On October 22, the Taoyuan warning strike occurred, though the immediate impact 17.46 percent drop in Micron Technology shares on production was reported as limited. November 5.
