Micron Faces Ongoing Taiwan Labor Tensions Despite Massive Bonus Push
Micron Technology is still grappling with a Taiwan labor standoff even after offering record 68‑month bonuses to thousands of workers (about 15,000 in Taiwan of 60,000 global recipients; unions represent roughly 10,000 Taiwan‑based employees seeking a bonus pool equal to 15% of operating profit). The company has invested heavily in Taiwan (over NT$1.6 trillion) while posting solid fundamentals: Q3 revenue of about $41.46 billion, ~80% operating margin, and $18.3 billion in adjusted free cash flow, with the stock around $979 as talks continue and production risk persists for AI-memory supply.
