A post on Taiwan's social media platform, Dcard, has revealed that the union at Micron's Taoyuan facility in Taiwan is set to conduct a 'strike briefing.' The purpose of this meeting is to deliberate on the perceived inequities within the bonus and profit-sharing system, especially in light of the current AI boom. The union members are considering the possibility of emulating Samsung's approach and resorting to a strike to fight for their rights. This development unfolds against the backdrop of a significant uptick in AI demand, which has propelled the chip industry's profits to unprecedented heights. However, this surge in profits has not been mirrored by a corresponding increase in employee salaries, thereby intensifying the tensions between labor and management. Notably, similar disputes have previously led to strikes at other chip industry giants, including Samsung.
