The Guaiguai Zhongli factory union went on strike, and the city government emphasized that it was willing to provide a platform for negotiation.

[Reporter Xie Wuxiong/Taoyuan Report] The Guaiguai Zhongli Factory's labor union started a strike today. When interviewed, Labor Director Li Xianxiang said that this case involves the relocation of the factory and major changes in workers' working locations and working conditions. The Labor Bureau will continue to assist labor and management in maintaining communication and negotiation channels, and provide necessary assistance and consultation on matters involving labor laws; if there is a need for negotiation between labor and management in the future, the city government will also assist in providing an appropriate negotiation platform depending on the situation.

Li Xianxiang emphasized that enterprises have their own autonomy in operation, but in the process of enterprise adjustment, labor rights and corporate social responsibilities should still be taken into consideration; the city government expects both labor and management to continue dialogue in a rational and pragmatic manner, fully communicate on employee concerns about work arrangements, relocation, and related rights and interests, and seek solutions to reduce conflicts and take into account the rights and interests of both parties.

Li Xianxiang said that the city government respects workers' exercise of solidarity rights and disputes in accordance with the law, and also attaches importance to the rights and interests of both employers and employees. The city government has conducted labor dispute mediation twice before, but unfortunately the two sides failed to reach a consensus. The city government will continue to pay attention to subsequent developments.

Open Questions

  • When will labor and management restart negotiations?
  • How long will the strike last?
