Micron (MU) : Bonuses For Micron’s Workers Still Counting
Micron Technology announced fiscal 2026 total rewards for its Taiwan employees equivalent to 35 to 68 months of pay, with a minimum cash compensation of NT$1.7 million (approx. US$53,800), amid an ongoing labor dispute.
💡 Core Details of the Package
• Total Rewards: Equivalent to 35 to 68 months of base salary (including salary, cash bonuses, and stock awards).
• Cash Minimum: At least NT$1.7 million in cash compensation per eligible employee.
• Additional Payout: An extra NT$1 million cash bonus for staff who joined prior to August 29, 2025.
• Global Scope: Over 60,000 global staff are receiving fiscal 2026 rewards following soaring AI-driven revenues.
⚠️ The Labor and Union Dispute
• Union Rejection: Labor unions representing roughly two-thirds of Micron's 15,000 workers in Taiwan rejected the offer.
• Key Demands: Workers are pushing for a permanent, transparent profit-sharing mechanism (allocating 15% of operating profits) rather than relying solely on one-off windfall bonuses.
• Strike Action: Escalating tensions and failed mediation talks have led workers to threaten strike action, raising supply concerns for critical memory chips used in AI servers.
