Micron faces Taiwan strike risk as memory labor disputes mount
  • Two unions representing about 10,000 workers at Micron's Taoyuan and Taichung fabs seek changes to the bonus system; more than 80% of surveyed members backed strike action in August, and mediation broke down Sept. 4.
  • Taiwan produced most of Micron's DRAM output in 2025, making the fabs a critical node for global memory supply as AI server, HBM, and data-center DRAM demand runs hot.
  • Micron reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46B, up from $9.3B a year earlier, with adjusted gross margin of 84.9%; fiscal Q4 guidance is about $50B revenue and adjusted EPS near $31.
  • SK Hynix reached a revised bonus and wage agreement with its labor union, resolving a dispute that would have disrupted production.
