Micron offered its Taiwan workers up to 68 months' pay. They turned it down within hours
The largest reward package in company history still doesn't answer the question its unions are actually asking
Micron's workers want the AI boom bonuses SK Hynix and Samsung already gave theirs
SK Hynix paid employees around $477,000 each, with next year's bonus potentially reaching $900,000
Bottom line: The profits of DRAM and NAND manufacturers have skyrocketed since the AI boom drove up demand for memory. After SK Hynix and Samsung awarded their employees generous bonuses from the windfall, union members at Micron are now wondering when they will receive their share.

RAM prices expected to rise another 40-50% in Q3 2026, and then 30% more in Q4 as AI demand outpaces supply
Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have been sued for price-fixing before. Now it's happening again
Winners & losers: The memory shortages pushing consumer electronics prices higher are expected to worsen through the rest of this year and into 2027, with possible relief not arriving until 2028. While manufacturers and industry analysts largely attribute the spike to AI infrastructure demand, a new California lawsuit accuses the three companies that dominate DRAM and NAND production of conspiring to exploit those conditions and artificially inflate prices.
