Micron Technology’s Taoyuan Union in Taiwan Plans Strike for Thursday

According to Reuters, Micron’s Taoyuan Union in Taiwan announced on October 20 that it plans to launch a strike this Thursday, protesting disputes over bonus and profit-sharing schemes—and expressing solidarity with Micron’s Taichung Union, which is currently engaged in mediation talks with the company. Earlier, the Taoyuan Union’s mediation process with Micron ended in September; the union completed its internal procedures in early October and formally obtained strike authorization from its members. The department represented by the Taichung Union is Micron’s largest operational unit in Taiwan and remains in ongoing mediation negotiations with management—no vote has yet been held on whether to proceed with a strike. Micron employs approximately 15,000 people in Taiwan, with core operations focused on manufacturing AI-server-critical memory components—including DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). The Taoyuan Union has not disclosed the expected duration of the upcoming strike. Last week, Taiwan’s leader Lai Qingde publicly urged both labor and management to advance negotiations in good faith.
