Micron's Taoyuan union in Taiwan announced on October 20 that it plans to strike this Thursday. According to ChainCatcher, Reuters reported that the action is intended to protest disputes over employee bonuses and profit sharing and show solidarity with the Taichung union, which is negotiating with the company.

The Taoyuan union's mediation with Micron broke down in September, and members authorized a strike in early October. The Taichung union represents Micron's largest operation in Taiwan and is still negotiating with the company; it has not voted on whether to strike. Micron has about 15,000 employees in Taiwan and mainly produces DRAM and high-bandwidth memory, key components for AI servers. The Taoyuan union has not specified how long the strike would last. Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te called on both sides to negotiate in good faith last week.
