Micron Taoyuan workers plan one-day stoppage

A labor action at Micron's Taoyuan plant in Taiwan moved closer to a work stoppage, with a 24-hour walkout planned for Thursday, October 22. The dispute centers on profit sharing. On Wednesday, October 21, Micron struck a deal with a different union at its bigger Taichung site, leaving Taoyuan as the unresolved matter. A TrendForce analyst suggested that a single day without work would probably have modest impact provided essential output continued. On the same day, MU stock dropped about 6% amid a wider tech sell-off, so the labor news coincided with sector-wide weakness instead of being the only force behind the decline. The union is seeking to have 15% of operating profit distributed through quarterly employee bonuses; Micron's earlier fiscal 2026 offer was rewards equal to 35 to 68 months of pay.
