Thesis
Author: Freeman LewinMicron’s Taiwan workers rejecting a 68-month bonus suggests the AI-memory margin windfall is resetting labor’s claim on semiconductor profits, making compensation inflation a potential offset to operating leverage. The thesis is falsified if bonus payouts, wage offers, turnover, and hiring costs return to pre-boom levels while memory margins remain elevated. Taiwan payroll disclosures, bonus distributions, job-posting wages, employee attrition, and labor-complaint records would test whether the windfall is becoming a recurring cost base.
