The inauguration of Micron’s new packaging and testing factory in Taichung on November 15th is facing a potential crisis as it coincides with the threat of a labor strike. President Lai Ching-te attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility in Taichung, but the event was tempered by ongoing labor negotiations. Workers are reportedly seeking improved benefits and working conditions. President Lai urged both labor and management to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve the dispute and avoid disruption. The new Taichung factory represents a significant investment by Micron in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and is crucial for its global supply chain. The outcome of the labor talks will likely impact the smooth operation of the new facility and Micron’s overall investment plans in Taiwan.
