TIAS Suspends Strike Action During Lunar New Year 資方允分階執行 桃勤釋善意春節不罷工

The chairperson of Taoyuan International Airport Services personally attended a meeting between the union members and the company. In the end, the company agreed to increase year-end bonuses and implement the union's six major demands in stages. The union said they will suspend the strike action.

Taoyuan International Airport Union members wore personal protective equipment with the character for "sadness" written on them. They were unhappy with their unstable working conditions during the pandemic and the difference in year-end bonuses between Taoyuan International Airport Services and parent organization China Airlines Group. The former's collective bargaining agreement hasn't been updated since 2000, and allowances are no longer able to keep up with inflation. The union demanded an immediate resolution to this issue as well as better working conditions.

Chiu Yu-cheng, Director, Taoyuan International Airport Union: “Right now, it takes too long to get promoted at Taoyuan International Airport Services. To sum up, we believe these six demands are imperative and require immediate adjustments. That's why we asked the Department of Labor to mediate between us and the parent organization. Regrettably, the negotiations on Dec. 30 collapsed.”

The union requested that Taoyuan City's Department of Labor mediate between it and the parent organization in December, and listed six major issues. They included increasing the nighttime allowance from NT$50 to NT$75, increasing salaries by 4 percent, an additional bonus of NT$80,000 in addition to the year-end bonus of one month's salary, and an epidemic bonus of NT$15,000. The union also wanted the establishment of a normal promotion system and the opportunity and timetable for part-time staff to become full-time staff. On Jan. 4, the chairperson of Taoyuan International Airport Services personally attended the meeting between the two sides. The department kept abreast of the situation.

Chang Che-hang, Section Director, Taoyuan City Dept. of Labor: “The city government, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and others are all continuing to work to negotiate between labor and management.”

Huang Tai-lin, Professor, Chang Jung Christian University: “You have to make adjustments to this linkage to performance unless there are internal regulations or other things or else performance will be overemphasized under the current situation.”

Scholars say the government holds shares in Taoyuan International Airport Services, and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, labor, and management will need to find an equilibrium. According to reports, during the meeting on Jan. 4, the company agreed to raise year-end bonuses and implement the other demands in stages.

將防護衣寫上大大的「悲」字，桃園航勤企業工會不滿疫情期間不間斷值勤，但是不僅年終獎金與母公司中華航空有落差，且公司自民國89年就沒有換過團體協約，津貼早就追不上通膨。工會要求資方即刻面對，優化勞動條件。

桃園航勤企業工會理事邱禹誠指出：「桃勤公司現在目前比較，職等比較低還有職等比較高，大概綜合一下，覺得這6項是有一個急迫性，而且必須要立即調整的這些事項。所以我們才會去遞送勞動局，來去跟公司去做調解，但很遺憾30日那天就談判破裂。」

企業工會在12月送出勞資爭議調解到桃園市勞動局，主要是6大訴求與資方談不攏。包含調整夜間津貼從50元調整到75元，另外要求調薪4%，年終1個月加8萬，也爭取疫情激勵金1萬5000元。工會也希望津貼上調，並建立常態晉升制度，也要讓非編制人員有轉任的機會與時間表。4日上午，桃勤由董事長親自出馬，緊急召開勞資會議，雙方重啟談判。桃園市勞動局也緊盯會議進度。

桃園市勞動局科長張哲航表示：「包含我們市政府，還有像交通部，大家都努力，私底下也是不斷在做勞資雙方協商的工作。」

長榮大學教授黃泰林認為：「績效連動的這個部分，除非他們公司內規或是其他的部分，你要做一些修改，不然以現況的方式來看，實際上就是績效掛帥。」

航空學者分析，航勤罷工影響層面廣泛，加上具有官股色彩，就看交通部與勞資三方如何取得平衡點。接近中午雙方協商落幕，據了解，資方答應提高年終獎金，也承諾分階實施工會提出的6大訴求。雙方將繼續後續協商。
