COUNTERMEASURES: The TRA said another railway union has agreed to work during the holiday and that it is training reserve staff to take over if neededBy Abraham Gerber and Shelley Shan / Staff reportersThe Taiwan Railway Union will follow through with its threat to “take a legal holiday” over the Lunar New Year to protest the Taiwan Railways Administration’s (TRA) unwillingness to negotiate labor terms, union members said yesterday in a Taipei rally.About 10 union members and their supporters gathered on the west side of the Taipei Railway Station building, shouting slogans and accusing the agency of forcing employees to work overtime during the holiday crunch next week.Union president Wang Jieh (王傑) said a petition to take time off during the holiday had been signed by more than 1,000 of about 4,000 employees responsible for station and train operations, vowing delays and cancelations in response to the agency’s refusal to negotiate over holiday shifts and overtime hours.“The work we normally do is that of laborers, not civil servants, but the TRA wants to use our status as civil servants to pin us down,” he said, adding that agency officials had threatened to mark employees who refused to work as “absent without leave,” violating a Ministry of Labor ruling.Civil servants and most other public employees are not governed by the Labor Standards Act (勞動基準法) and can be compelled to work over holidays under the Civil Service Act (公務員服務法).However, the Labor Standards Act states that in cases where workers are considered both civil servants and laborers, Civil Service Act standards apply to their salaries, retirement and insurance, “as well as other cases in which it provides better benefits” than the Labor Standards Act.“Even though we are considered both civil servants and laborers, our national holidays are supposed to be governed by the Labor Standards Act, which requires employers to ask workers whether or not they are willing to work,” Taiwan Railway Union secretary Hsiao Nung-yu (蕭農瑀) said.Union director Tseng Fan-ye (曾繁宇) accused the agency of trying to cut the number of platform staff, which he said could undermine safety because there would be fewer staff to monitor trains and passenger traffic.Hiring more employees to allow shift reductions has been a key demand of the union, which was founded last year to compete with the existing company union.Deputy Minister of Transportation and Communications Wang Kwo-tsai (王國材) said after a Cabinet meeting yesterday morning that the agency would continue to communicate with the union and has been training reserve staff to fill a potential personnel shortage.“It would take time to address the union’s demands, such as increasing staff numbers. The TRA is working on meeting those expectations,” Wang said.The TRA has also discussed the situation with the company union, the Taiwan Railway Labor Union, which understands that some of its appeals are not going to be addressed immediately, Wang said.The group has said it will cooperate fully with the agency’s plan to transport homebound passengers during the holidays, he said.Asked about the possibility of 1,000 workers going on strike, Wang said that it would affect railway transport during the most important holiday of the year, but that the TRA has trained substitutes to meet a potential staff shortage.All reserve staff have undergone three months of training and served as apprentices for 10 to 14 days before being added to the work roster, the agency said.新聞來源:TAIPEI TIMES

▲小朋友看到警車就舉手敬禮,畫面太溫暖人心。(圖/嘉義縣警局布袋分局義竹分駐所警員翁玉軒提供/下同)

記者陳俊宏/採訪報導

警民友好!嘉義縣義竹鄉平溪村一群小朋友,只要看到警車經過就會停下敬禮,從國小升到國中始終如一,溫暖人心的畫面讓警員翁玉軒拍下。翁員今天(20日)接受《1對1英文家教費用ETtoday東森新聞雲》訪問表示,小朋友是「最真誠的那種」。

翁員目前在嘉義縣警局布袋分局義竹分駐所服務,他受訪時表示,每天上午6時到8時的校園安全維護路線,巡經義竹鄉的平溪村,都會看到同一群小朋友對警車舉手敬禮,「他們遠遠看到警車時,會跟旁邊的小朋友講,然後稍微整隊,等到車子經過一起敬禮,超可愛的。第一次看到時,讓我跟學長會心一笑。」

翁員說,他在該單位服務3年,這兩男兩女小朋友原本都穿國小制服,現在有些人已改穿國中制服,「覺得不是矯揉造作,是真的很天真可愛那種,也不是那種帶有嬉鬧意味」;他指出,曾想截行車記錄器中小朋友敬禮的畫面,但因陽光太強且逆光,19日在小朋友放寒假前拍到,真的很開心。

▼小朋友遠遠看到警車,就停下來整隊敬禮。

翁員解釋,之前全國校安的情況比較多,所以他們的巡邏班次,會特別針對學生的上下課時段,巡簽義竹鄉內的各個國中小學,像上午6時到8時、下午4時到6時,以及周三中午12時到下午2時(學生上半天)。

翁員也把小朋友敬禮的畫面PO到臉書,他寫道,每次的校安維護,都很想替這群小朋友拍一張照片,19日剛好不用開車,讓他順利拍到並撰文記錄,「(小朋友)最真誠的那種,在他們身上,看到的不是同儕間的玩笑嬉鬧,而是一種反射動作。」

翁員說,每天都很期待經過平溪村,總會會心一笑,這可能就是在淳樸的農村,所看到最美的風景;見微知著,工作三載有餘,從小朋友穿國小制服,到現在穿國中制服準備撘校車,一路走來、始終如一,相信這群小朋友的心中存在著「真善美」,未來也不會差到哪裡去,祝福他們寒假快樂。

▼小朋友從國小敬禮到國中,一路走來始終如一,讓警員看了好窩心。

【羅開新聞中心Minsey Weng文】南巡旗艦大賽-BMW SA Open Championship hosted by the City of Ekurhuleni(南非公開賽),本週即將在Ekurhuleni (艾古萊尼)的Glendower Golf Club(葛蘭道爾高爾夫俱樂部)登場,同時揭開2017年歐巡賽季的序幕,今年參賽陣容更來了世界排名第二的Rory McIlroy(羅瑞?麥克羅伊)。然而,這場早在1903年就開打的古老國家公開賽,即使沒有麥克羅伊的加持,甚至場中沒有任何世界排名前五十的高手,也能獲得比一般歐巡賽事還高的世界排名積分,關鍵就在於「旗艦」兩個字。原來世界排名系統特別給予美國、歐洲、日本、澳洲、南非和亞洲六大巡迴賽,以及美、歐旗下的威達康和挑戰巡迴賽,各有一場基本保障分數的賽事(分數會隨陣容深度而增加),那就是所謂的旗艦賽(Flagship Events)。有「第五大賽」之稱的The Players Championship(球員錦標賽),成為美巡賽的年度旗艦大賽,冠軍保障八十分,比WGC系列賽還高,不過由於每年參賽陣容堅強,拿這樣的分數絕對名符其實。相較之下,歐巡賽的BWM PGA Championship(歐洲PGA錦標賽)顯然有點虛胖,像去年場中世界排名最高只有第九名的英格蘭選手Danny Willett(丹尼?威利特),但最後獲勝的同胞選手Chris Wood(柯瑞斯?伍德)照樣帶走六十四分,而同週陣容更強的DEAN & DELUCA Invitational(殖民地邀請賽)冠軍Jordan Spieth(喬丹?史畢斯)卻少了十二分。再來就是Japan Open Golf Championship(日本公開賽)、Emirates Australian Open(澳洲公開賽)和本週上演的南非公開賽,三場國家公開賽都是三十二分級,其中日本和澳巡賽平常冠軍只有十六分,但這兩場比賽卻翻倍,去年的兩位贏家分別為松山英樹(Hideki Matsuyama)和史畢斯。亞巡賽每一年都不一樣,2015年是Thailand Championship(泰國錦標賽),當時因為陣容堅強,威爾斯的Jamie Donaldson(傑米?唐納森)大賺了三十四分,不過去年比賽停辦,預計今年為Ho Tram Players Championship(後川球員錦標賽),冠軍二十分起跳,比一般賽事還多了六分。同樣十四分級的威巡賽,旗艦大賽冠軍也能獨得二十分,不過去年受到颶風影響,Web.com Tour Championship(威達康巡迴錦標賽)取消,而原本十三分的挑巡賽,NBO Golf Classic Grand Final(挑巡年終賽)冠軍也能多賺四分。
