What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

MOL released labor statistics for Taiwan. During a news conference in Taipei, labor advocates discussed reforms aimed at strengthening collective bargaining and addressing low pay among young workers. They argued that the current unionization rate among employees remains below 10 percent due to structural barriers, including a 30-person threshold for forming a union.
