Micron’s Taiwan workers to get rewards worth up to 68 months of pay
The announcement follows signals of support for a strike from unions representing around two-thirds of the US chipmaker's workforce in Taiwan.
Micron Technology announced on Friday that over 60,000 employees worldwide, including its 15,000 Taiwanese direct labor workers, will receive fiscal 2026 rewards. The Taiwan-based direct labor employees will receive bonuses equal to 35 to 68 months of pay, with a minimum cash compensation of T$1.7 million (US$53,809.39). Micron described the payouts as its strongest ever.
The rewards also include a T$1 million (US$31,652.58) cash bonus for employees who joined before August 29, 2025, with an average total reward of T$3.4 million for entry-level engineers, comprised of T$2.9 million in cash and equity grants. Despite failing to reach an agreement with the Taoyuan union during mediation, Micron aims to avoid a strike similar to Samsung Electronics' crisis in May, which potentially impacted chip supplies and economic stability in Asia.
