The union representing the workforce of Micron’s manufacturing plant in Taoyuan, Taiwan, said it planned a 24-hour strike on Thursday, after negotiations on Wednesday broke down.

The Taoyuan union said Idaho-based Micron had failed to provide specific figures for a proposed profit-sharing scheme during the negotiations, meaning that the planned strike would go ahead from 9 a.m. on Thursday.

Micron said it was hopeful that both sides would continue their dialogue.

Taichung agreement

The decision came after the union representing workers at Micron’s other Taiwan manufacturing facility in Taichung said in a joint statement with the company that they had signed an agreement and would call off a planned Thursday strike.

The Taichung union had planned a strike during mediation talks on Thursday, but said it would withdraw from those discussions after reaching the agreement.

Worker unrest

Neither Micron nor the union disclosed details of the agreement, saying they would communicate separately to affected employees in the coming days.

Both unions had sought a permanent profit-sharing scheme allocating 15 percent of Micron’s operating profit to quarterly bonuses.
