Employees of TSMC, the world's biggest chip fab, are reportedly threatening to strike over what they see as an unfair share of bumper AI-fuelled profits. The news follows the ongoing dispute between Samsung and its workforce over pay.
Digitimes reports that Taiwan-based TSMC was planning to actually cut employee bonuses by 15% despite "soaring" profits. TSMC employees consequently spoke out on social media, including Facebook groups, threatening to follow the strike action of Samsung workers in South Korea.
Digitimes says that TSMC responded by promising that, "employee profit-sharing bonuses, which are based on performance evaluations, will see a higher annual growth rate than in 2025."
