Micron's third labor-management negotiation still has no consensus, and further negotiations will be held on the 17th

Micron's third labor negotiation was chaired by Labor Director Li Xianxiang, and Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng (centre) was also present to show concern.

Micron Wafer Technology Company and the enterprise union (Micron Taoyuan Labor Union) caused a labor dispute over profit sharing. The two parties held their third negotiation at the Taoyuan City Government today. It was chaired by Labor Director Li Xianxiang, and Mayor Zhang Shanzheng was also present. Because the union believed that the company had not yet proposed a profit sharing plan, it was disappointed with the progress of the negotiations. Micron stated that it would develop an employee reward calculation system to let employees know the quarterly bonuses. It is expected to be online next week. The two parties agreed to hold the fourth negotiation at 5:00 pm on the 17th.

The Micron Taoyuan Labor Union stated that from the previous two labor mediations to the subsequent three negotiations, the two parties have conducted five negotiations, but the company has never put forward a specific plan for the union's demands. Even if the union raised questions in each meeting, the company did not give a clear answer. Most of the content explained so far is information that employees have heard within the company in the past, making the union question the company's lack of preparation for negotiations.

In response to recent rumors that Micron may halt Taoyuan's 4.5 billion yuan plant expansion plan, union representatives also asked company representatives during the meeting, but company representatives did not clarify the relevant rumors and only responded. Official news will be released through official press releases and will not comment on media reports.

Labor Director Li Xianxiang said that Micron is currently developing a reward calculation system in accordance with the union's demands to allow employees to check the amount of quarterly bonuses. It is expected to be launched next week. The two parties agreed to negotiate again on the 17th to continue discussing the reward system and related disputes.

Zhang Shanzheng said that in the past few months, in addition to arranging formal consultations, the city government has also contacted both labor and management privately many times to understand each other's needs and assist in communication. He personally attended the negotiations in the hope of expressing the city's goodwill and expectations for both parties and making labor and management a win-win situation. Although consensus was not reached this time, he still hopes that the two sides will continue to negotiate and find a mutually acceptable solution.
