Micron Technology union representatives gesture during a protest outside of the Micron facility demanding greater profit shares and better bonuses, in Taoyuan on October 22, 2026. Eleven workers at a Micron Technology plant in Taiwan went on strike October 22 after their union and the US chip giant failed to agree on employee demands for a greater share of the company's profits, a union official said. Huge global appetite for chips used in AI data centres has sent revenues soaring for firms that design, produce and assemble them but as their earnings skyrocket, workers are demanding a bigger cut of profits.
