(Central News Agency reporter Chao Li-yen, Taichung, 1st) Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen and Democratic Progressive Party Taichung mayoral candidate Ho Hsin-chun both proposed labor policies on Labor Day, outlining blueprints focusing on labor rights, employment subsidies, and the wave of AI, aiming to create friendly workplaces.
Ho Hsin-chun today teamed up with Democratic Progressive Party Taichung city council candidates to shoot official photos, demonstrating the unity and momentum of the Taichung team, and simultaneously proposed "Six-Heart Labor Policies." Ho Hsin-chun's office stated through a written draft that the first item, "Care for Health," involves increasing subsidies for workers' health examinations and providing psychological counseling.
The second item, "Stable Employment," encourages young people to seek employment, provides guidance for long-term employment, and increases vocational training quotas and subsidies. The third item, " 安心托 (Peace of Mind Childcare)," expands night and holiday childcare and encourages enterprises to establish childcare services. The fourth item, "Enhance Innovation," establishes an AI innovation talent training institute.
The fifth item, "Strengthen Workplace Safety," uses technology to enhance workplace safety and promotes further upgrades in construction site disaster prevention. The sixth item, "Happy Elderly," establishes a talent service center for seniors, provides guidance for employment transitions, and offers additional incentives for senior employment.
Chiang Chi-chen also issued his "Good Policy Plus" labor policy through a written draft. He advocates expanding the scale of the "Labor Rights Fund" and increasing various compensation and assistance payments, providing more ample assistance to workers involved in lawsuits, occupational injuries, and involuntary unemployment, and establishing a "Labor Advisory Committee" to address issues such as workplace bullying, overwork, labor shortages, and outdated meal allowance subsidies.
Chiang Chi-chen mentioned promoting workplace certification and rewards for happy workplaces, planning to increase bonuses, and encouraging enterprises to promote flexible working hours and standardized childcare, creating a win-win situation for labor and management. Facing the global wave of AI, through public-private cooperation, an "AI Empowerment Academy" will be established to provide free training and skill certification incentives for workers, allowing them to gain substantial increments and upgrades in both skills and wages.
