Micron Taiwan Unions Threaten Strike as AI Memory Profits Intensify Bonus Dispute

Taoyuan, Taiwan, 1 September 2026 – Unions representing workers at Micron Technology’s Taiwan operations are preparing for a possible strike over performance bonuses, opening a new labour front in the memory-chip industry as artificial intelligence demand drives profits to record levels.

Two unions representing employees at Micron’s Taoyuan and Taichung facilities have been pressing management to replace the current incentive system with a more transparent profit-sharing arrangement. A preliminary survey found that about 80% of participating members supported strike action if negotiations fail.
