TRANSASIA AIRWAYS PROTESTORS AT BOTH GOLDSUN AND LIN'S RESIDENCE|促復興董座出面 工會赴國產抗議爆衝突

Infuriated by TransAsia Airways Chairman Vincent Lin's attitude following the company's abrupt dissolution, members of the TransAsia Airways Workers' Union rallied in front of Lin's other company, Goldsun Group. They demanded that Lin show up and respond to their demands. Clashes broke out at the rally On the afternoon of December 13, members of the TransAsia Airways Workers' Union rallied in front of the Goldsun Group. As the rolling shutter rolled down, some protestors tried to stop it and were injured. After 19 hours of sit-in protest in front of Chairman Vincent Lin's mansion, union members headed to the Goldsun Group, demanding Lin to come forth. The Union accused Lin of ignoring the Act for Worker Protection of Mass Redundancy and the government of not being there for them. ==WU CHUNG-HUA Ground Staff Rep., TransAsia Airways Union== We hope that all legislators and the government can come out. Stop telling us that there's nothing you can do. How can you offer to help the capitalists after receiving political contributions from them but not reach out your hand when the workers are suffering? According to the Union, Lin refused to negotiate with them and instead sent CEO Liu Tung-ming, who had no decision-making power, to the negotiation meeting. They criticized that Lin left them out on the street after turning their efforts into his fancy cars. ==PANG MIN-YI Dep-Dir., TransAsia Airways Workers' Union== How is it that we are still unable to find Vincent Lin? We have issued a warrant for you. We are looking for you. Vincent Lin, come out. Stop hiding in your mansion. The Union stated that the Goldsun Group is the largest shareholder of TransAsia Airways. They demanded that the Group's senior executives show up at the meeting on December 14, or they will continue the rally in front of Lin's mansion.
