Micro said last month it would give the equivalent of up to 68 months of pay to staff, but the one-off payment was rejected by workers.

Huge global appetite for chips used in AI data centres has sent revenues soaring for firms that design, produce and assemble them, but as their earnings skyrocket, workers are demanding a bigger cut of profits.
Monday's announcement came as Micron held talks over remuneration with two unions representing 12,000 of the 15,000 workers at its Taoyuan and Taichung plants.
