LABOR ACT AMENDMENT REVIEW GOES THROUGH IN CLASHES|立院一例一休案攻防 混亂中通過審查

On October 5, a proposed amendment to the Labor Standards Act that involves the controversial "one fixed day off and one flexible rest day" was pushed through a legislative committee. The review process only took 60 seconds, drawing harsh criticism from the opposition parties and labor activists. Legislators held banners and shouted slogans in the Legislative Yuan. Physical confrontations broke out as the DPP and KMT failed to reach consensus over the "one fixed day off and one flexible rest day" bill. A meeting of the legislature's Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene Committee was held to review amendments to the Labor Standards Act. The DPP changed the location of the meeting to avoid KMT legislators from blocking the bill. The meeting started at 9 am. Legislators took 14 minutes to read through the amendment proposal. Later, DPP legislator Chen Ying concluded the review within two minutes, drawing harsh criticism from opposition parties. ==JOHNNY CHIANG, KMT legislator== It is a glorious battle for Tsai. However, it is also the most miserable day for Taiwan's 9 million workers. The "one fixed day off and one flexible rest day" bill was passed within a minute. The DPP mocked KMT legislator Chang Ching-chung as "half-minute Chung". Now they have "one-minute Ying". ==Chen Ying, DPP legislator== The review process was well complete. I stayed there for a long time. The KMT called me as "one-minute Ying". This is a slander. To make it easier for businesses to arrange employees' holidays, and to avoid social chaos, the DPP said amendments to the Labor Standards Act cannot be further delayed. The amendment will be referred to cross-caucus negotiations. Before all amendments are complete, laborers will still have three national holidays off by the end of this year. TRANSLATED BY：ARIEL HSIEH 藍綠立委、手拿標語、大聲喊口號，現場爆發激烈口角，甚至發生肢體衝突、火藥味十足。 立法院衛環委員會，今天審查落實週休二日等勞基法相關修法。國民黨在昨天占領群賢801會議室，要阻擋法案，結果民進黨變更會議場所，把戰火燒到紅樓302。 上午9點開會，在一片混亂中，議事人員宣讀條文，有綠委提案「停止詢答、討論」，隨後召委陳瑩，就宣布審查完竣，用了16分鐘，就把法案送出委員會，引發國民黨團不滿。 ==國民黨立委 江啟臣== 小英 光榮的一戰 卻是全台灣900萬勞工 最悲哀的一天 一分鐘 通過一例一休 他們講 之前半分忠(張慶忠) 這是一分瑩啊(陳瑩) ==民進黨立委 陳瑩== 整個程序完備結束 離開 我在那邊待很久(5點開始) 所以他們(國民黨)這個 這樣子的宣稱(一分瑩) 是也蠻 算是很汙衊我 召委陳瑩喊冤，而民進黨團更強調程序完備，是為了避免企業排假困擾、延誤台灣社會，所以修法不能延宕，本來準備審查到深夜，但國民黨卻鬧場，所以改採其他策略，雙方持續互槓。 今天通過包含政院版在內、7個修法版本，將送交政黨協商，後續恐怕還有得吵，但在修法完成前，包括十月的光復節在內，勞工年底前至少還有三天國定假可以放。 記者 曹晏郡 吳其昌 蔡慧玲 邱福財 台北報導
