Syracuse, N.Y. — Labor unions are zeroing in on Micron Technology’s planned chipmaking plant in Central New York in hopes of organizing the semiconductor industry, long considered hostile to unions.
A labor agreement with Micron could set a precedent for other semiconductor companies that are opening new plants in the U.S. thanks to the $52 billion CHIPS and Science Act. The projects announced by companies from New York to Arizona could create more than 70,000 new U.S. manufacturing jobs in an industry that has little union representation.
