Labor Day


Thousands of workers took to the streets of Taipei yesterday to demand that the government provide stable job opportunities and respect laborers' rights amid record-high unemployment rates. In observance of Labor Day, demonstrators marched outside the Presidential Office and nearby government buildings in a protest organized by the Taiwan Confederation of Trade Unions. “We want jobs! We want dignity!” and “No outsourcing! We want protection!” chanted the protesters, which included white-collar and blue-collar workers both employed and unemployed, some of whom brought along their family members. Taiwan's unemployment rate continue rising in March. Many opople have been unemployed for a long time. The student is unemployed after graduation from college. Our government should bring ways to slove these problem.
