Micron Workers Begin One-Day Taiwan Strike Over Profit Sharing

Taipei, 22 October 2026 – Workers represented by the union at Micron Technology, Inc.’s Taoyuan operation began a one-day strike over bonuses and profit sharing, marking a rare labour action in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. Of 2,012 votes cast in the authorisation ballot, 1,994 supported industrial action, equal to 99% of participating voters and 88.3% of the 2,258 eligible members.

The stoppage matters to Asian businesses and investors because Micron’s Taiwan operations produce dynamic random-access memory and high-bandwidth memory used in computers and artificial-intelligence servers. The strike and vote are confirmed, but the number of participating workers and the effect on output had not been established at drafting time. A one-day action does not by itself prove that customer deliveries or industry supply will be materially disrupted.
