Disability Advocates Oppose Nomination of Social Welfare Head to Control Yuan

Taiwanese disability and caregiver employer groups strongly oppose the nomination of Sun Yi-hsin, Secretary-General of the Taiwan Alliance for Social Welfare, to the Control Yuan. They cite his strong advocacy for migrant worker rights, particularly ending the "one-day departure every three years" rule for foreign laborers, while allegedly neglecting the severe caregiving challenges faced by Taiwanese families with disabled members. Concerns are raised about potential conflicts of interest and a lack of objective, neutral perspective for the oversight role.
