According to Tom's Hardware, citing Bloomberg, activity at the site has all but stopped apart from safety work, and Micron has informed local officials. The company has not issued a statement about the pause but said that "our operations today continue as normal" and that it is confident of maintaining business continuity for customers.
Micron has already reached a deal with the larger Taichung union and announced a bonus worth up to five times annual salary for some workers, but the Taoyuan union wants clearer profit-sharing terms and held a one-day strike last month. Workers at the three big memory makers, Micron, Samsung and SK hynix, are demanding a larger share of the profits from the AI memory boom. Micron's next meeting with the union is set for November 6.
