According to Taiwanese media reports, due to "labor disputes", the China Airlines branch of the "Pilot Professional Union" in Taoyuan, Taiwan temporarily announced at 0:00 on the 8th that at 06:00 on the 8th An "indefinite strike" has begun, affecting flights departing from Songshan International Airport, Taoyuan International Airport , and Kaohsiung International Airport. At about 4 o'clock in the evening that day, China Airlines issued an emergency announcement to cancel 26 flights to the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and multiple destinations.
However, according to Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud" report on the 8th, Tsai Ing-wen was asked about this when she was sending red envelopes yesterday, and she only responded with the word "thank you".
Taiwanese people were dissatisfied with Tsai Ing-wen's "thank you" words that she "treasured words like gold" and asked, "What are you thanking for?" Thank you for the strike or the Taiwan authorities?
Some netizens sarcastically said that Tsai Ing-wen has become Taiwan's "provincial dialect sister", her head is empty and she has nothing to say, and her "water spinach" certification is correct.
There are still netizens who criticized it. Now I only want to thank you for prevaricating?
Kuomintang spokesperson Hong Mengkai also denounced on Facebook that the flight attendants on the island went on strike two years ago. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen supported the strike and said that if "it is intolerable, we will not go on strike" and "I will not leave you alone." Now Tsai Ing-wen has no horse It’s strange that the authorities are so reluctant to speak out their words, which proves that they have no intention of solving labor issues.
Hong Mengkai said that Tsai Ing-wen used the attitude of the new administration to say that she would sincerely solve the problem and asked the administrative team to keep an eye on China Airlines' senior management, as if she was a confidant to the flight attendants. Ask the new China Airlines executives to accept all requests made by the flight attendants. Now that strikes are happening again, the original Tsai Ing-wen is gone and replaced by "Tsai Ing-wen who only says thank you but has nothing to say." Without the "previous government" to blame, does Tsai Ing-wen have nothing to say?
Hong Mengkai criticized that the Ma authorities may have done something wrong at the beginning, so the people used their votes to keep the Kuomintang in opposition. Now labor and management are more antagonistic, and the pilots can't help but go on strike to fight for their rights. If the Tsai authorities still act like nothing Guan Ji's attitude, I'm afraid that next time the people who can't bear it will be the people in Taiwan who want to change political parties again!"
Taiwan's "United Daily News" also mentioned in a commentary article that the last time the flight attendants went on strike, the Tsai administration took office It was only one month old, and Tsai Ing-wen was about to "visit" Panama. China Airlines' "Ministry of Transportation" was at a loss as to what to do, and the situation spread like wildfire. Finally, the Tsai administration replaced the senior executives of China Airlines before the "foreign trip". The new director He Nuanxuan accepted all seven demands of the "flight attendants union". Finally, Tsai Ing-wen's special plane became the only one to fly out the day after the strike. China Airlines flight at Taoyuan Airport. The
article sarcastically said, look at the present day, the same old director is not the same as before, and his attitude during the two strikes is completely different. Last time, Tsai Ing-wen was going out, and the boss kowtowed to the employees and asked for an early end to the strike. This time, it was just ordinary people going out for the New Year, and it was just ordinary business. It was just a good time to use the anger of the passengers to suppress the striking pilots. That’s why he dared to let the strike crisis grow without doing any damage control in advance. The article
stated that if Tsai Ing-wen believed that the strike of flight attendants two years ago was justified, is the strike of pilots today causing trouble over nothing? The new management team led by He Nuanxuan did not bring the strike to a successful conclusion, and the "seven major demands" were later overturned. What is important is that the civil aviation industry is fiercely competitive, and various overwork phenomena caused by red-eye flights and reduced manpower are still a problem in the future. serious problems, and even a general safety crisis in Taiwan’s transportation industry. The article
criticized Tsai Ing-wen's "Cai Kui" for being moved to the third place. This old problem that accompanied the new administration took office has intensified, causing flight attendants and pilots to go on strike one after another, and people will be fined even if they buy air tickets during the New Year. The airlines are letting go, but the Taiwanese authorities are seeing the crisis expanding but are unable to find the courage to replace people to deal with the aftermath and help people complete their itineraries as soon as possible. It turns out that Tsai Ing-wen’s so-called “governance that makes everyone feel sensible” is such intolerable governance efficiency and selfish employment.
Taiwan's China Airlines strike has entered its second day today (9th). Taiwan's "Central News Agency" reported on the 8th that according to China Airlines' official website, 21 flights are expected to be affected today (15 flights are canceled and 6 flights are delayed). Labor and management will hold a symposium at 3 pm today.
