Yunlin County has 20,443 migrants workers currently, and the majority of them are family nursing workers, nursing workers in nursing homes, or factory workers. Owing to a large number of workers and other factors, such as nationality, ethnic characteristics, and language differences, labor disputes often happen. Therefore, the Yunlin County Government particularly calls on migrant workers and employers to make good use of "1995 Foreign Workers' Free Hotline" if disputes happen, and there will be a professional consultant providing consultation services of migrant workers policies, psychological counseling, life information, job adaptation, and labor disputes.
Director Zhang Shizhong of Department of Labor Affairs in Yunlin states that apart from the counseling hotline, migrant workers, employers, agents can also go to the Department of Labor Affairs for consultation, or through a phone call, or sending a fax. After the Department of Labor Affairs in Yunlin County receives your case, they will be a professional consultant explaining the laws about labor disputes to you, and if necessary, employees and employers will be asked to harmonize to help them communicate effectively and to avoid more disputes or misunderstanding coming from languages differences.
Zhang Shizhong states that the colleagues of the Department of Labor Affairs will reinforce the advocacy of relevant policies and emphasize again that foreign nursing workers can only engage in nursing work or cleaning jobs; factory workers can only undertake the licensed manufacturing work. if employers, migrant workers, or agents have relevant problems, please contact the Department of Labor Affairs. Foreign Workers Consultation Service Center assists with five languages: Indonesian, Vietnamese, English, Thai, and Taiwanese. Tel: 05-5338086、5338087.
