Market Chatter: Micron to Award Taiwan Workers Bonuses Worth Up to 68 Months of Pay

04:03 AM EDT, 09/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Micron Technology (MU) will award its direct-labor employees in Taiwan with bonuses equivalent to 35 to 68 months of pay for fiscal 2026 after what the company described as an extraordinary year, Reuters reported Friday. Each worker will receive at least 1.7 million Taiwan dollars ($53,809), with payouts covering operators, technicians and shift engineers as part of rewards to more than 60,000 employees globally, according to the report. The move comes as unions representing roughly two-thirds of Micron's Taiwan workforce have signaled strong support for a strike amid disputes over compensation. Micron did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for a copy of the official statement. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
