Issues of Taiwanese industrial disputes: the
Solution of the Keelong Transportation Dispute case
|
Chuan-Cheng Wu
|
The economics in Taiwan is downsizing
since last decade. In the field of Industrial Relations, the disputes between labor and
management are increasing by contrary. The case of the dispute of Keelong Transportation
Co. 1992 in Taiwan was determined with lost-lost outcome between the employees and the
employer. The arbitration committee, which was made up from three parties - government,
union and management - according the law (Arbitration Disputes Act) seemed to be no
function at all. The outcomes were that the dismissal employees left their jobs with tears
and the company was sold by the employer. The article is addressing the reasons probably
because the IR system in Taiwan is unreliable and ineffective. Besides, the culture and
ideologies in management and labours in Taiwan are argued by the author. |
