(Taipei, Central News Agency reporter Liu Jian-ting, 30th) Taipei City Councilor Lin Liang-chun questioned that Guopiao Securities Vice Chairman Chen Guan-ru was involved in bullying an employee. An internal investigation found “workplace illegal infringement established” but a reversal is being considered. The complainant today produced a voluntary resignation commitment letter that Guopiao Securities asked them to sign. The Labor Inspection Office will dispatch personnel to investigate.
Taipei City Councilor Lin Liang-chun of the Democratic Progressive Party and the complainant held a press conference at the Taipei City Council, with Labor Inspection Department Director He Hong-cheng invited to attend. The complainant publicized a commitment letter, saying that Guopiao Securities assigned personnel to speak with her and stated a hope for her to resign or be dismissed voluntarily.
The complainant stated that in August 2024, an investigation was conducted after receiving a report. After completion, it was signed off by the company's independent directors. Afterwards, she was called into Chen Guan-ru's office and reprimanded. Chen mentioned that she spoke recklessly in the board meeting, did not provide the report in advance, and also called her the chairman's crony.
The complainant said that she was subsequently questioned in the board meeting, where some directors stated that the investigation was illegal and had procedural chaos. They also raised common-sense questions, such as not providing explanations to the Taiwan Stock Exchange. As a unit supervisor, she executed duties according to law, but her explanations were not accepted.
The complainant stated that the company's board of directors issued a fine of NT$300,000 in April last year (2025) and sent four letters within a month demanding review, a situation truly rare in the industry.
The complainant said that she later filed a complaint with the company, believing in the company's system and not complaining externally, but things did not go as expected. She was then notified by the company to take a break and applied for leave without pay from May to August last year (2025). Earlier this year (2026), she communicated with the company, hoping to understand the follow-up status of her complaint.
The complainant stated that in early March this year (2026), the board of directors passed a resolution declaring the previous investigation report invalid. During this period, she was completely unaware of the board meeting's content. In mid-March, she was asked to resign. After filing a complaint, in mid-April, the company assigned a management department supervisor to talk with her and presented the commitment letter. The commitment letter stated that she must withdraw her previous complaint. She believes this disregards employee rights and refused to sign on the spot.
He Hong-cheng responded that this commitment letter may involve violations of the Labor Standards Act, and personnel will be dispatched to Guopiao Securities for inspection soon.
The Labor Bureau's news release stated that the case had undergone labor inspections on December 2, 2025, and February 6, 2026, and a letter was issued to the company after inspection, requiring it to handle matters according to law.
The Labor Bureau stated that according to the Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration's interpretation in November 2025, workplace bullying complaints should be investigated and determined by a handling group established by the company according to its illegal infringement prevention plan. After inspection by the Taipei City Labor Department, the company was notified that the conclusions of other unit investigations were invalid and that it must revert to the original mechanism.
Regarding the complainant's mention of the commitment letter, the Labor Bureau stated that the public has already complained to the Ministry of Labor. Although the Taipei City Labor Inspection Office has not received it, it will proactively assist to ensure the rights and interests of workers.
Guopiao Securities responded to media phone inquiries, saying that this investigation report was passed by the company's "Workplace Illegal Infringement Handling Group," but the report was not passed by the board of directors or the audit committee. Also, the convener of the investigation was abroad at the time, but external experts and members were appointed by the then chairman, and the report had serious flaws. It will be abolished according to company regulations and revert to the starting point.
Lin Liang-chun mentioned in a news release in October last year (2025) that a Guopiao Securities employee, due to professional independence, was subjected to long-term improper interference and verbal humiliation by Chen Guan-ru. She filed a complaint through internal channels according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act. After Guopiao Securities legally invited external experts to launch an independent investigation by the workplace illegal infringement handling group, the bullying facts were clear, and it was resolved that illegal infringement was established.
