More than 12,000 TRA workers opt for day off on Labor Day
Excerpt
Taipei, April 16 (CNA) More than 12,000 Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) employees, including 90 percent of its drivers, have vowed not to work on May 1, to protest against the government's proposal to corporatize the transportation agency, according to TRA on Saturday.
Based on shift schedules, 1,200 TRA drivers should be working on Labor Day, which falls on a Monday this year, making that weekend a three-day holiday, but fewer than 40 of them may actually show up for work, said the TRA, which operates Taiwan's only island-wide railway network.
As a result of this, all train services on Eastern lines that day will be cancelled and Western lines will see only a few commuter train operations, the TRA said.
