Spurred by the AI craze, memory chip prices have skyrocketed, resulting in substantial profit surges for producers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Yet, Micron's Taiwan-based workforce is contemplating a strike, expressing discontent over the bonus allocation framework. The two primary unions at Micron Taiwan, boasting a collective membership of roughly 10,000, carried out an initial poll revealing that roughly 80% of staff endorse the strike. These unions are advocating for a transition from the existing individual performance-based bonus system to a profit-sharing approach, mirroring the strategies employed at Samsung and SK Hynix. Micron's revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 soared to an impressive $41.46 billion, marking a 346% year-on-year leap. Nevertheless, employee bonuses are subject to a 'twice the salary' cap, restricting them to around 2.6 months' wages. Should mediation efforts falter, a strike vote could be convened as soon as September. Given that approximately 60% of Micron's worldwide production capacity is situated in Taiwan, a strike would have a direct bearing on the global DRAM and HBM supply chains.
