A union representing Micron Technology Inc. workers in Taoyuan plans a 24-hour strike outside the company’s gate despite a separate Taichung agreement, Newtalk reported, extending a dispute over profit sharing.
The contents of the Oct. 21 agreement in Taichung have not been made public. Micron Memory Taiwan and the union said they would brief affected employees in the coming days. They also withdrew from mediation scheduled for Oct. 22.
In Taoyuan, the union wants a one-time bonus for 2026 and an ongoing profit-sharing arrangement. It said talks with Micron had produced no specific figure for such a plan, Newtalk reported. The planned action runs from 9 p.m. ET Oct. 21 to 9 p.m. ET Oct. 22, outside the company’s Taoyuan gate.
The Taoyuan union said 1,994 of 2,012 members who voted backed a strike. The Taoyuan and Taichung unions have sought a plan assigning employees 15% of operating profit. The reported demand does not establish which operations’ profits would be included in that calculation.
Micron reported $99.34 billion in companywide operating income for fiscal 2026, up from $9.77 billion a year earlier. Revenue rose to $133.19 billion from $37.38 billion. Those companywide results do not establish the cost of the unions’ proposed payout.
The Taoyuan vote preceded broader union calls in Taiwan for clearer profit-sharing rules at an Oct. 19 rally. Micron says its Taichung campus supports advanced memory manufacturing, including high-bandwidth memory used in artificial intelligence systems.
Newtalk reported that Micron was expected to present a proposal at an all-staff meeting at 10 p.m. ET Oct. 21 (10 a.m. Oct. 22 in Taiwan), with union members due to vote on it.
