Lai Urges Micron, Workers To Reach Deal as Strike Threat Looms – TaiwanPlus

Speaking at the opening of Micron's second advanced assembly and testing plant in Taichung, Lai called on both sides to negotiate sincerely and build consensus. Taiwan is Micron's largest overseas base, where the company employs around 15,000 people. Union workers in northern Taiwan are threatening to strike over a profit-sharing dispute. A major work stoppage could affect the supply of memory chips used in AI servers, with potential implications for the global semiconductor supply chain.
