Micron's Taiwan Union Votes 99% to Authorize Strike Over Bonuses
Original: Micron's Taiwan Union Votes 99% to Authorize a Strike Over Bonuses
A union representing workers at Micron's operations in Taiwan has voted 99% in favor of authorizing a strike in a dispute over bonuses. The overwhelming result signals strong worker anger at the US memory chipmaker's pay practices. A strike authorization does not mean workers will walk out immediately, but it gives union leaders the option to call one if negotiations over bonuses fail.
Why now: A near-unanimous strike vote at a major chipmaker's Taiwan plants threatens production and highlights labor tensions over pay in the semiconductor industry.
