**[Micron Offers Up to 68 Months' Bonus, Taiwan Union Still Threatens Strike]** BlockBeats News, September 12: Micron Technology announced record-breaking fiscal year 2026 rewards for employees in Taiwan, with some bonuses reaching up to the equivalent of 68 months' salary and minimum cash compensation of NT$1.7 million (approximately $53,800). For junior engineers, the total average reward is around NT$3.4 million, along with annual equity grants. However, the Taoyuan Union, which represents about two-thirds of Micron's employees in Taiwan, has refused to accept the current proposal. The union insists that 15% of the company's operating profit be included in the employee bonus distribution and has stated that if the company does not respond to their demands, they will continue to advance strike procedures. Micron currently employs approximately 15,000 people in Taiwan and has invested over NT$1.6 trillion in the region. The increased reward measures are believed to be related to the profit-sharing mechanisms of South Korean memory chip manufacturers. Earlier this year, Samsung Electronics, under pressure from union strikes, agreed to establish a special bonus pool equivalent to 10.5% of its chip division's operating profit. As labor negotiations between Micron and its Taiwan employees enter a critical stage, any escalation into an actual strike could impact Micron's production schedule and further disrupt the global supply of memory chips.
