Micron halts work on its $4.5 billion chip fab

Management is increasingly worried that an agreement previously reached with the local union could be overturned. The halt shows how labor and political risk can stall even multi-billion-dollar chip capacity at a moment when memory supply is strategically critical to AI hardware.
