Micron Faces Taiwan Strike As Union Demands "Fair Profit-Sharing System"

What happened: A union in a pay dispute could strike on Thursday at Micron's Taiwan plant, timed to a mediation meeting between Micron and a separate union at its Taichung operations. Key numbers: Micron employs about 15,000 people in Taiwan. Members authorized a labor action in early October. Mediation with the Taoyuan union failed last month. Why it matters: The plant is a key hub for DRAM and high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI servers, which have been largely in short supply this year due to data-center demand. The union seeks a better profit-sharing proposal.
