Micron's Taiwan Unions Request Government Help to Resolve Wage Dispute

Labor representatives for Micron employees in Taiwan have requested government intervention to resolve a wage dispute after more than 2,300 union members at the Taoyuan site rejected a new bonus offer with a 70% negative vote. While Micron reached a deal with its larger Taichung union increasing pay for 80% of workers to 2.7x current levels, Taoyuan workers have demanded bonuses equal to 15% of operating profit, and the site staged a 24-hour walkout, the first strike of its kind in the Taiwanese semiconductor industry.
