TAIPEI, April 30 (CNA) – Yunlin County Baozhong Township Mayor Chen Chien-ming has been implicated in workplace bullying. The Control Yuan stated that Chen Chien-ming's involvement in a criminal case led to unreasonable work reassignments for a subordinate staff member (referred to as "Staff Member A"), causing severe damage to Staff Member A's physical and mental well-being, as well as the image and reputation of the Baozhong Township Office. Therefore, the Control Yuan passed the impeachment of Chen Chien-ming, and the entire case has been referred to the Disciplinary Court for review.
The Control Yuan announced today via a press release that Chen Chien-ming, due to personal reasons related to his involvement in a criminal case, caused Staff Member A to suffer unreasonable work reassignments. These included being transferred twice to perform cemetery (including life park) duties outside the office; having a voluntary transfer application to Huwei Township Office in Yunlin County immediately rejected; and being unilaterally transferred to the third-floor auditorium of the Baozhong Township Office for over a week without office equipment or other colleagues. These actions severely damaged Staff Member A's physical and mental well-being, as well as the image and reputation of the Baozhong Township Office.
The Control Yuan stated that Chen Chien-ming failed to exercise his authority cautiously and fairly, exacerbating Staff Member A's workplace environment. An investigation by the Yunlin County Government confirmed the characteristics of bullying behavior, its continuous nature, intentionality, and resulting harm, concluding that Chen Chien-ming's workplace bullying against Staff Member A was established.
The Control Yuan stated that considering Chen Chien-ming's violation of the Civil Servant Service Act, which damaged the honor of civil servants and the credibility of the government, and the serious nature of his misconduct, it constitutes a reason for disciplinary action under the Civil Servant Disciplinary Act. Therefore, the Control Yuan today passed the proposal by Control Members Fan Hsun-lu and Yeh Yi-chin, referring the entire case to the Disciplinary Court for review.
