"Although our countries are different, the exploitation of the workers is the same 對工人的剝削是超越國界的!" #AbandonedWorkers #關廠工人
National Highway Toll Clerks 國道收費員抗爭事件: (1~15)
Hydis Abandoned Workers 抗爭事件: (16~18)
2015 Taiwan #AbandonedWorkers #關廠工人 rise up again, with the #ETC abandoned workers (Toll booth workers) from Taiwan National Highways, and the #Hydis abandoned workers from S. Korea (Factory closed by a powerful Taiwan capitalist). The names may be different, but the excuses to abandon their long-time workers are the same. Again, "Nobody cares for workers, till they fight for ourselves. 工人沒人疼, 只有自己拼!" as long as the capitalism was the bible of our generation, #AbandonedWorkers #關廠工人 will never disappear.
