Micron Taiwan Union Plans Strike Vote After Mediation Fails
MU has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $154.65.
Summary
Micron's Taoyuan union in Taiwan will hold a strike vote after mediation ended without agreement, with the company failing to offer a concrete profit-sharing proposal. This escalates labor tensions at a key manufacturing site. A second mediation meeting with the Taichung union is scheduled for October 22. A strike could disrupt production of memory chips amid tight supply and strong AI demand, potentially impacting revenue and customer commitments.
