China Taiwan Network reported on December 1 that Lai Ching-te was named "Lai Shen" by netizens because he accurately predicted the arrival time of the typhoon and refused to give typhoon holidays. However, less than three months after taking over as the "Premier of the Taiwan authorities", "Lai Shen" has been named "Lie Shen" again because he said too much empty talk after he took office.
According to the green media on the island, on November 29, Lai Ching-te and the "Green Committee" communicated with the revision of the "Lao Major Law". The content of the conversation was exposed one by one by the media. Related news and Lai Ching-te's recent views on the amendment of the "Lao Major Law" were shared on the Internet, which attracted criticism from netizens. In addition to the "Dry Talk (Empty Talk) King", there are also people who mocked "Lao God becomes a lie God"!

Before reading Lai Ching-te's related remarks, you should first understand the specific content of the "Labor and Fund Law" amendment.
On November 9, the Taiwan authorities' "Executive Yuan Association" passed the revision of the " One Case One Recess " amid the protests of the labor group. According to Taiwan's China Times, this "revision" will not only require the verification and calculation of special leave deferred and the verification of attendance wages and hours on rest days, the seven-day break limit can be relaxed with the approval of the trade union or labor-management meeting, and the overtime hours can be increased from 46 hours to 54 hours, and the shift break interval can also be shortened from 11 hours to 8 hours. The outside world criticized it. Once this version is passed, it may become legal for workers to work for 12 hours in a row for 12 consecutive days, or even 300 hours in 30 days. The labor group criticized the over-indulgent tendency toward the capital, and the "modal amendment" has been regressed for 30 years, which is called "the most evil in history."

The following is Lai Ching-te's "dry words" in this incident:
dry words 1: The company will not schedule a shift schedule
According to reports, Lai Ching-te said in an exclusive interview with Taiwan's "Central News Agency" that after this "revision of the law", in principle, it is necessary to rest for 11 hours before going on the road. If you go to the evening shift that day, you cannot go to the morning shift the next day, and the shift interval will be at least 8 hours. Lai Qingde claimed that "the company will not deliberately schedule a scheduling schedule."
"Lai Ching-te also knows that this is the 'punishing law'." According to Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud", the director of the New Party New Thinking Center, Hou Hanting, said that a lot of enterprises have been scheduling like this, and Lai Ching-te said that they would not scheduling like this, "I really don't know the sufferings of the people."

According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", Wang Jie, chairman of the Taiwan Railway Industry Trade Union, criticized the "small talk" (nonsense and nonsense). The Taiwan authorities are their employer, but they have laid off day and night to make time for workers to take a break, causing serious overwork for workers. The DPP used to criticize the Kuomintang for selling Taiwan, but now the DPP is poor and slave Taiwan, selling Taiwanese workers to the international community.
also left a message from a doctor, "The company will not deliberately schedule a scheduling shift. This sentence must be based on two foundations: 1. The company's schedule a scheduling shift will be severely punished 2. Labor-management agreements do not equal labor-management equality. The flexibility of the 'Labor Fund Law' is equivalent to losing its stance to the laborer. Is it difficult to understand?"
Dirty words 2: How can an employee be considered working hours when he is having a meal?

According to Taiwan media reports, during a dinner with the "Green Committee", Lin Shufen, who had objections to the "Amendment of the Law", gave an example to ask, "If a worker works 8 hours a day, work overtime for 4 hours, and rests for 2 hours for Chinese and dinners, he will work 14 hours a day." But Lai Qingde immediately retorted, "Everyone says that employees are eating, how can they be considered working hours?"
According to reports, Lai also advised Lin not to keep scolding administrative officials, and it will take more than an hour to scold him. Lin Chengqing didn't scold him for so long, and the two had no consensus on the fight.
Darling 3: Commuting time is not to work, eating is resting does not count as continuous work
According to Taiwanese media reports, Lin Shufen also proposed that if the workers live far away, the commuting time will take 2 hours. If the 8-hour rest interval is not illegal, I am afraid that the actual situation is that the workers cannot get enough rest, but Lai Qingde replied, "Commuting time is not to work, and eating is resting does not count as continuous work." He also reminded Lin Shufen, "This calculation is not pragmatic enough. If most workers look at the commuting time, commuting time will not exceed 1 hour." According to Taiwanese media reports, Lai Qingde also retorted, "It is probably 30 or 40 minutes away from work."

In this regard, some netizens explained that Lin Shufen's meaning is to follow the current "mortgage" goal, working hours, middle rest, overtime plus commuting time, which may be as high as 16 hours a day. It is not that rest and commuting should be counted as overtime hours. "A bunch of people who escort the 'investment of the Party' (under the capitalist Progressive Party ) are climaxing." Lin Shufen emphasized that after the "mortgage" policy, there are very few time for workers to really rest at home.
Some netizens questioned why the interval between shifts can be fixed to only 8 hours, which is legal? Even if the company provides dormitory, can employees move instantly, go to bed immediately, and then move back instantly to work immediately? Apart from eight hours of bedtime, do employees have no rest time for their own work during shifts? The shift interval is at least 12 hours in the EU, and the original 11-hour interval in Taiwan is relatively short, how can it be shortened to 8 hours?
Dilly Words 4: "Amendment of the law" gives flexibility, because "young people don't have high incomes and want to work overtime"

According to Taiwanese media reports, Lai Ching-te reposted that he once took a high-speed rail during his tenure as the mayor of Tainan. He heard the uncle sitting nearby say that "one case, one rest" reduced his son's income by nearly 20,000 yuan (New Taiwan dollars, the same below), "very complained"; some grassroots complained that "one case, one rest" made the boss unwilling to let them work overtime, "very miserable". Lai Ching-te concluded in this regard: "It is a fact that 'one case and one rest' has lost its flexibility, which makes it difficult for the business to operate." He also said that the environment in Taiwan has not yet reached the critical point, and the flexibility after the "Amendment" is not only to give benefits to the investors, but "I am also helping the workers."
According to Taiwanese media reports, Lai Ching-te claimed that it is not only the southern workers who want to work overtime. "Some young people may not have high incomes at the beginning, and naturally they also want to work overtime, which depends entirely on their income status and there is no generational difference." He also said, "Age workers are under pressure to support their families and (can't work overtime) will be even more impacted."

According to reports, the Taiwan labor group has been saying in relevant protests: "What workers want is a raise, not overtime."
Many netizens said they could not accept Lai Ching-te's speeches, and they booed and left messages, "I will never be able to get enough money when I die." "I am really too lazy to scold me, but he is not listening at all." "I reacted to you, but the boss is all the boss." "Lie God" "It takes an hour and a half to take the bus from New Taipei to Taipei, I don't know the suffering of the world." "It's really unethical and stands completely on the position of the capitalist party", "I suggest changing my name, talking about the progressive party." "It seems that Ma Ying-jeou was a little more appropriate at the beginning. The capitalist party thought there were too many tickets next year and was ready to lose next year."
Dirty words 5: The salary of the waiter can be regarded as doing good deeds and doing good deeds

Lai Ching-te attended an event a few days ago. In his speech, he encouraged the caregiver (care service staff) who had a salary of only more than 30,000 yuan to "do good deeds" and was criticized by the public for "speaking the truth".
According to Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud", Lai Ching-te said, "When taking care of the elderly, the caregiver may think that the salary is only more than 30,000 yuan, which seems not very cost-effective. The working conditions have exceeded the level of patience. It will be a little difficult to display love, but it should be regarded as the social concept of 'mercy Taiwan'. This is an act of doing good deeds."
Taiwan's "Family Care Association" issued a press release to bombard Lai Ching-te for "one-day work experience". A professor at Chung-Cheng University in Taiwan also sarcastically said, "Lai Ching-te should be able to change his name to 'Lai Gongde'!"
Lai Ching-te's "Merit theory" caused controversy, and the Taiwan authorities' "Executive Yuan" bus stop sign was renamed "Merit Academy".
Unexpectedly, before Lai Ching-te's name was moved, Taiwan's "Executive Yuan" was changed first. A netizen posted that after a party with friends on the evening of November 30, he took a bus from near the subway Shandao Temple Station to prepare to return home. He found that the "Executive Yuan" on the bus stop sign was actually changed to the "Merit Yuan". At first, many people thought that the picture was p-ed, but then netizens who came to the scene also posted the same photos, which made many people say, "Who changed it! It's so merit. The world is so meritorious." "It depends on merit, it's appropriate."
On September 8 this year, Lai Ching-te took over as the "Premier of the Taiwan authorities" and was accused of saving the Tsai authorities from a sluggish poll. At the beginning of his tenure, Tsai Ing-wen's poll did stop falling for a while, but in less than three months, the latest poll of the pro-green media "Beautiful Island Electronic News" on the island showed that Tsai-Rai's satisfaction and trust in the policy have both fallen sharply, down about 10 percentage points from last month. Lai Ching-te's satisfaction with the administration fell below 50% for the first time, at 44.8%, and pan-green voters even "spent" more than 15%. (China Taiwan Network Li Ning)
