Micron Technology faces a potential labor stoppage in Taiwan after unions representing nearly 10,000 of about 15,000 workers in Taoyuan and Taichung pressed strike preparations over bonus pay, seeking a one-time fiscal 2026 special bonus equal to roughly 83 months of salary and, from fiscal 2027, quarterly distributions equal to 15% of operating profit. An August union survey found more than 80% of participating members backed a walkout, though the unions have not authorized a strike; Taiwanese law requires failed mediation and a formal secret ballot supported by more than half of union membership. The push follows a sharp jump in Micron’s profitability, with fiscal third-quarter revenue rising to $41.46 billion from $9.30 billion a year earlier and operating income climbing to $33.32 billion from $2.17 billion; the company expects about $50 billion in fourth-quarter revenue and a gross margin near 86%, and said this year’s performance bonus will already be the largest in its history. Workers cite richer profit-sharing at Samsung and SK Hynix, while Taiwan remains Micron’s largest manufacturing base for DRAM and high-bandwidth memory, including a majority of 2025 DRAM output, making prolonged disruption a supply risk as AI demand stays elevated and Micron ships HBM4 for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform.
