A labor dispute broke out between Taiwan's Micron Wafer Technology (Micron Taoyuan Factory) and the company's labor union (Micron Taoyuan Labor Union). The union decided to withdraw from the fourth labor negotiation on the 17th. In response, Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng pointed out in a threads post that Executive Dean Zhuo Rongtai had close discussions with him. He hoped that the central and local governments would work together to promote communication between labor and management with complete information and specific plans, and gradually resolve differences.

Zhang Shanzheng said that the city government's position is very clear: labor rights and interests must be protected in accordance with the law, and it also hopes to find a solution that balances labor rights and interests with the sustainable development of the enterprise through pragmatic negotiations. Originally, there was a gap in expectations between labor and management, and mutual trust had not yet been fully established. However, since the first labor dispute mediation on September 4, the government, Micron management and the labor union have gradually found better communication methods to lay the foundation for subsequent negotiations.

Zhang Shanzheng also called on: During the critical period of negotiations, various comments in the community, even if they are out of concern, can easily be interpreted as public opinion manipulation by either labor or management, increasing mutual suspicion and affecting the progress of hard-won communication; negotiations are still ongoing and are very important. The city government will do its best to promote smooth negotiations and strive to communicate everyone's consensus.

Zhang Shanzheng said that of course everyone can express their opinions, but he implores everyone to remain rational and avoid rushing to conclusions before the information is complete, so that the central government, the Taoyuan City Government, and Micron's labor and management can have a communication environment where candid dialogue and pragmatic problem solving can be achieved.
