Leaked transcripts show memory-line staff offered up to 607% bonuses worth $477,000, while logic-chip employees get as little as 50%. The 45,000-person walkout, if it lands, would be the largest in semiconductor-industry history.

I think it’s per employee.

The union is pushing for compensation closer to $1m per employee,

Which is as it should be since these fuckers can’t make their billions without the workers.
