Employees at Micron's Taiwanese facilities are calling for a more equitable distribution of profits generated by the surge in demand for AI chips. On October 22, 11 workers staged a one-day strike, highlighting their concerns. Over recent months, membership in the company’s two unions in Taiwan has skyrocketed from approximately 440 to over 13,000 members. Analysts caution that an extended conflict could disrupt memory chip supplies to AI hardware manufacturers, including Nvidia. However, there have been no confirmed production disruptions to date.
