Fifty workers from the state-owned Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA, 台鐵) will take action Thursday and Friday against straining overtime work, said the Taiwan Railway Union (TRU, 台灣產業工會).

TRU Director-General Wang Chieh (王傑) issued a statement announcing that 50 union representatives will collectively take their Mid-Autumn holiday off “according to the law,” from Thursday through Friday.

Wang said that overtime pay and compensation for nighttime shift work must be reasonable and meet employee expectations.

“We also hope other train service personnel and ticket collectors will put on masks when they work during Mid-Autumn Festival to show their support, symbolizing participating in silent protest,” said Wang.     [FULL  STORY]
