Micron Taiwan Union Rejects Payout, Demands Profit Sharing
What happened
The Micron Taiwan workers’ union rejected a one-time payout that Micron Technology offered last week. The union stated it wants a long-term mechanism that would allow employees to share 15 percent of the company’s operating profits. The union head suggested the company proposed the reward package unilaterally and may have been trying to influence public opinion.
