Micron Technology (MU) is facing an unusual problem after one of the strongest stretches in the company's history. Workers in Taiwan are threatening to strike over Micron's bonus structure, with two unions representing roughly 10,000 employees at the company's Taoyuan and Taichung facilities pushing for changes. More than 80% of participating union members backed strike action in an August survey, although a formal strike has not yet been authorized.
The timing is awkward for Micron. Its Taiwan operations are central to its memory manufacturing network just as artificial intelligence (AI) demand has pushed DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) into an extraordinary upcycle.

TAICHUNG, Taiwan, June 9 (Reuters) - Taiwan's military simulated destroying an invading Chinese force in a coastal exercise on Tuesday, firing off rockets and artillery to stop an amphibious **** ault in what it described as a more realistic combat scenario with less preparation time.
China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under Beijing's control, and its warplanes and warships operate almost daily around the island.
The beaches and mud flats on Taiwan's west coast, directly facing China across the Taiwan Strait, are seen as the most likely location for an attempted landing by the Chinese military in the event of any invasion.
The drill was conducted simultaneously from eight positions across a 20 km (12 miles) stretch of coast around Taichung in central Taiwan.
