關稅海嘯衝擊 勞工苦等百日被當空氣 行政院裝死到底

北中南動員「包圍行政院」 卓榮泰院長出來面對！

從4月初美國總統川普公布全球關稅計劃，宣告將向各國進口到美國商品加徵關稅以來，最保守估計川普「關稅海嘯」，至少可能衝擊逾50萬台灣勞工工作權與勞動權益！然而，台灣勞工過去苦苦等待超過百日，面對未知的未來終日惶惶不安，結果卻是被行政團隊當空氣。行政院對可能受衝擊勞工一個多月前集結成立「台灣勞工因應關稅衝擊行動聯盟」（勞關盟），提出政府須出面保證不會將勞工工作權當談判「祭品」犧牲、同時要求行政團隊與談判代表應與勞工團體對話的訴求，完全「裝死到底」，拒絕給出任何回應。

而近日外交部在立法院質詢中甚至一度鬆口承認關稅談判「不能說樂觀」。對此，可能受到關稅海嘯衝擊、高度憤怒的勞工，包括工具機產業、機械加工業、汽車零組件與汽車製造業等，可能同時會受到出口關稅與隨之連動的進口關稅衝擊產業的工會與勞工，不得不選在上班日的7月22日（星期二）上午，大規模集結，最遠從屏東、高雄、台中、苗栗、新竹、桃園等各地動員千人，手拿象徵勞工工作權的「飯碗」包圍行政院，大聲吶喊要求卓榮泰院長出來面對勞工！勞關盟在一週前也已正式發文立法院，邀請執政的民進黨、以及佔國會多數的國民黨、民眾黨團出席記者會，讓台灣勞工在即將舉行的罷免投票與日後可能進行的補選前，提前檢驗各政黨是否真正在乎台灣勞工工作權與家庭生計且提出具體方案保障。

勞關盟表示，當天除「勞關盟」發起單位台灣機械工會聯合會、中華民國國際金屬總工會幹部外，其他包括工具機產業的工會代表（莊璧愷理事長）、汽車零組件產業的工會代表（詹素貞理事長）等最主要可能受關稅衝擊產業的勞工代表都將站出來，除闡述可能受到影響與對工作權的衝擊外，更將代表50萬勞工與其家庭，大聲要求行政院不要再對勞工呼喊置若罔聞，要求行政院長卓榮泰立即出來面對。特別前來聲援的青年學生團體，也將在行政院前，上演一齣「勞工工作權慘遭台灣政府當談判祭品」的行動劇。勞關盟聲明：行政院必須派出秘書長層級以上代表，出來與來自北中南的勞工說明，更重要的是必須承諾絕不會讓勞工工作權淪為談判祭品犧牲，否則勞關盟當天將帶著這些遠從北中南各地來到台北的勞工，直接進到行政院內找卓榮泰院長「對話」。

＊行動時間＆地點：7月22日（星期二）上午10點。行政院大門口前

100 Days of Waiting, Workers Ignored while Tariff Crisis Worsens
Mobilize Nationwide Unions Mobilize, Urging Executive Yuan Premier to Address Labor Concerns

Since U.S. President Donald Trump announced global tariffs in early April, nearly half a million domestic jobs have been affected—yet the government hasn’t offered a meaningful response. Concerned about workers’ rights being overlooked in trade talks, labor advocates formed the Taiwan Labor Action Coalition on Tariff Impact (the Alliance) in June. The group has repeatedly asked to meet with government officials, but so far, the administration has remained silent.

With trade negotiations showing little promise for Taiwan, workers from the nation's most vulnerable industries—machine tools, automotive parts and assembly, and precision engineering—plan to stage a large-scale protest on Tuesday, July 22. Surrounding the Executive Yuan and holding rice bowls as a symbol of job security, they will call on the Premier to confront labor concerns directly. The Alliance has also invited legislators from major political parties to join the protest and publicly clarify their positions ahead of the upcoming recall vote and potential by-election.

Key speakers at the protest include representatives from the machinery and automotive sectors, voicing concerns about threats to their industries and urging the government to stop ignoring workers’ demands. Meanwhile, a youth group will stage a symbolic performance outside the Executive Yuan to spotlight how workers’ rights are being treated as bargaining chips.

The Alliance demands a senior representative from the Executive Yuan—at minimum the Secretary-General—should engage in direct dialogue with workers on site, and a firm commitment that labor rights will not be compromised in any trade agreement. Otherwise, the Alliance pledges to lead workers from across Taiwan into the Executive Yuan to directly seek answers from Premier Cho.
