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

▲衛斯布魯克無緣2017明星賽先發。(圖/東方IC)

如何自學英語記者潘泓鈺/英語家教綜合報導

NBA公佈2017 明星賽先發名單,衛斯布魯克(Russell Westbrook)與柯瑞(Stephen Curry)、哈登(James Harden)在西區後場獲得同樣積分,不過衛少在球迷選票方面落後因此無緣先發。還在養傷的林書豪也在推特為衛斯布魯克叫屈,美媒更點出,衛少本季大三元次數,還比明星賽先發10人加總多出2次。

▼衛斯布魯克與昨日發生衝一對一家教中心突的帕楚利亞(Zaza Pachulia)雙雙落選。

本屆明星賽票選改制,除了球迷票選外,球員與媒體也握有選票;球迷票佔50%,球員與記者各為25%。加權方式則是(球員選票排行x2+球員選票排行+記者選票排行)/4,積分越低越靠前面。柯瑞、哈登與衛斯布魯克皆獲得相同積分,但在球迷選票方面,柯瑞的1,848,121票、哈登1,771,375票擠下衛斯布魯克的1,575,865票,昔日雷霆三少無緣明星賽先發同台。

仍在養傷的籃網靈魂後衛林書豪,第一時間得知衛斯布魯克落選,在推特上表示「聯盟得分王、大三元榜首,這樣還不夠好嗎?」《Bleacher Report》製圖顯示,衛斯布魯克本季21次大三元,比東西區明星先發10人大三元總和還多出兩次,其中哈登13次、詹姆斯(LeBron James)3次、安戴托昆波(Giannis Antetokounmpo)2次以及杜蘭特(Kevin Durant)1次。
