This Spring Festival holiday is a bit special.In the early morning of the New Year's Day of the Lunar New Year, the pilot union launched a strike of China Airlines pilots, immediately impacted the busy shipping of the New Year, which affected thousands of passengers, which was a major event for economy and society since the beginning of the year.
The pilot trade union strike, the labor party proposed five major demands, from the announcement to the start of the strike, only six hours apart, and during the Spring Festival, the time choice and control were very powerful.As the supporters said, their purpose is to highlight the power of the labor strike and give the management a strong blow.
The strike is basically a matter of labor and management, but in the transportation industry, the strike involves many passengers, which has a large level of influence.Although Taiwanese society has gradually accepted one of the means of fighting for the rights and interests of strikes, but for the strike of transportation, it is still generally believed that it is a last means that it is not suitable for lightness.China Airlines' strike has attracted much attention. Not only does it affect the majority of passengers during the Spring Festival, but also because it has 40 % of the official stocks, intervention is considered a government responsibility.Once the government intervenes, it has the role of coordination and integration. However, in Taiwan, which is pan -politically, ripples can not help but take the opportunity to criticize the government's incompetence, and even wait for the show.
From the perspective of public affairs, the strike will eventually rely on the negotiations between the workers and the workers, or resort to judicial arbitration; the government's intervention will be based on the overall interests of the society and the public opinion.As a result, strikes usually must also fight for the public's support from the public or public opinion.In this regard, the strike of the China Airlines pilot is clearly persuaded to the public.
Strikes are most likely to resonate, usually poor labor conditions, or deprivation of labor rights.Some labor groups emphasize that only the strike can break through the dilemma of long -term workers and low wages. This principle may be applied or partially applicable to ordinary workers.
According to the information disclosed publicly, the working conditions of China Airlines pilots are far better than ordinary workers.It is true that the pilot has its professionalism, the working conditions are high, or it is taken for granted;In particular, the problem of improving fatigue flights that the pilot trade union is most concerned about, and China Airlines's current dispatching practice is also in line with international norms.As for other demands such as training their own pilots, the 13th month bonus, the exclusive member of the union's rights and interests, and the replacement supervisor, etc., most of them focus on the trade union.It is difficult to trigger social resonance.
In fact, regardless of the number of pilots who respond to strikes or the whole, more than 12,000 employees in China Airlines are a minority. Of course, a few can strive for most support through appropriate demands and persuasion to form effective pressure on the capital.But in this strike, these premises do not exist, and the legitimacy and urgency are difficult to support. Why must they choose to strike in the Spring Festival.What is especially what, the leading Taoyuan Municipal Playmaster Trade Union is not the China Airlines Enterprise Trade Union. The chairman is an Evergreen pilot, but it has not avoided it. In addition, the strike has not been properly previewed.The anti -strikes and other employees protested again and again, stating that the strike pilot kidnapped the passengers, causing other employees to cause serious harm to the company as a whole.
This strike is difficult to get the vast resonance and general support of the society, highlighting the strike as a means to fight for the rights of workers.If the desire is not to reach, the strike of irritability or rushing is not necessarily beneficial to the labor rights and interests they want to fight; even in the worst situation, the created enterprises may also lead to unemployment, reduced income, consumers and shareholders' equity damage.Wait for evil results.
This lesson lesson is particularly obvious in the United States, which was booming in labor.Although through collective negotiations, strikes, lobbying and other means, trade unions have helped increase labor rights and reduce social injustice.However, the trade union is also accused of favors the members of the affiliated and sacrifice the interests of non -members, consumers and shareholders to protect the rights and interests of members.The radicals of the union, coupled with the changes in the industrial structure, caused the ratio of US office workers to join the union last year only ten.5 %, 20th from the 1980s.One % decreased, and the civil sector was only six.Four percent, social strength is not as good as before.
In the process of democracy in Taiwan in recent years, social liberalization, progressive ideas prevailing, and promoting the consciousness of labor rights and environmental protection. At the same time, taking the United States as an example, it is necessary to avoid irritability or rush.After all, in Taiwan's dedication to transforming and breaking the road of economic difficulties, it is pragmatic and effective to revitalize the economy and expand economic cakes, which is the right to implement labor rights and interests.
The flight attendant strike occurred two and a half years ago. In addition to bringing revenue loss and passenger compensation, the pilot strike also improved the uncertainty of taking flights and hurt China Airlines.Only by righteousness, we can get more help and finally come to success; the pilot strike is strong and unreasonable.
