代表台湾桃园美光科技(MU.O)员工的工会表示,将于周四发动罢工,以配合该美国芯片制造商与另一代表其台中运营员工的集体之间的调解会议,奖金争议由此升级。
A union representing Micron Technology (MU.O) workers in Taoyuan, Taiwan, said it would launch a strike on Thursday to coincide with a mediation meeting between the US chipmaker and another collective representing workers at its Taichung operations, escalating a dispute over employee bonuses.
此次罢工提升了美光在其最重要制造中心之一的劳资争议风险,该中心生产DRAM和高带宽内存(HBM)芯片,这些是AI服务器的关键组件。
The strike raises the stakes in a labour dispute at one of Micron's most important manufacturing hubs, where it produces DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, key components in AI servers.
桃园工会表示,此次罢工旨在表达对台中工会的团结,并增加对美光的压力,促使其提出具体的利润分享方案。
The Taoyuan union said the strike was intended to show solidarity with the Taichung union and to increase pressure on Micron to put forward a concrete profit-sharing proposal.
美光在台湾雇佣约1.5万人,其台中和台园运营分别由不同工会代表员工。该公司表示,已在岛上投资超过1.6万亿新台币(490亿美元)。
Micron employs about 15,000 people in Taiwan, with separate unions representing workers at its Taoyuan and Taichung operations. The company has said it has invested more than T$1.6 trillion ($49 billion) on the island.
美光与桃园工会的调解于9月结束,未达成协议。工会于10月初获得成员授权以发动罢工。
Mediation between Micron and the Taoyuan union ended without an agreement in September. The union secured authorisation from its members to strike in early October.
代表美光在台湾最大运营员工的台中工会仍在与公司谈判,尚未就罢工问题进行投票。
The Taichung union, which represents workers at Micron's largest operation in Taiwan, remains in negotiations with the company. It has yet to hold a vote on whether to strike.
桃园工会未具体说明团结罢工的持续时间,称将于周四公布更多细节。
The Taoyuan union did not specify how long the solidarity strike would last, saying it would release further details on Thursday.
“通过我们的行动,我们将让当前系统的不满被听到,并展示建立公平利润分享系统的决心,”桃园工会在周一的声明中表示。台湾总统赖清德上周曾呼吁美光及其员工“真诚”进行谈判。
"Through our actions, we will make our dissatisfaction with the current system heard and demonstrate our determination to establish a fair profit-sharing system," the Taoyuan union said in a statement on Monday. Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te called last week for Micron and its workers to negotiate "sincerely".
