TRANSPORT INDUSTRY WORKERS PROTEST OVER WORKING CONDITIONS|華航罷工週年 桃空服職業工會:產業仍血汗

It has been a year since China Airlines flight attendants' strike ended. Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union stated that the working conditions have not improved over the past year. On June 23, Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union, coach operators, Taiwan Railway Union, and Taipei MRT drivers staged a protest in front of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and filed their petitions. Transportation industry representatives protested over the poor working conditions in front of the Ministry of Transportations and Communications. ==CHAO KANG President, Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union== The company promoted a great deal of foreign staff to try to lower the salary and working conditions agreed after the strike. ==WANG CHIEH Chairman, Taiwan Railway Union== Six months have elapsed. They have not come up with a proper work schedule for us. They are trying to exploit employees. The schedule they are discussing allows only one day off after 13 working days. Taipei MRT drivers accused the company of reducing the number of drivers, which means fewer days off for drivers. Coach operators hoped to reduce driving hours per day for drivers. The Ministry accepted petitions from the protestors. Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Wang Kwo-tsai also called on China Airlines' flight attendants to be more considerate. ==WANG KWO-TSAI Deputy Minister, MOTC== The strike was successful. The successor had no more bargaining chips to offer. They could only accept the deal back then. They made many compromises that have increased the cost by more than NT$200 million. As a part of the company, I think you should be more considerate of the company's difficulties. China Airlines issued a statement claiming that the working conditions for its flight attendants have improved after the strike. All seven areas agreed have been gradually implemented.
