TRA workers have yet to receive overtime pay they are due for May and June, due to a budget shortfall, the union said. Members of the Taiwan Railway Union protest outside the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in Taipei yesterday, demanding that the Taiwan Railways Administration pay them nearly NT$30 million owed for overtime pay for May and June. The agency organized the new schedule without adequate communication with its employees, and it plans to suspend overtime pay and force workers to accept its new schedule, the union said. At the beginning of this year, we secured the legal right to distribute employees’ benefits, which include overtime pay,” Lin said. However, the TRA said that it has submitted an analysis of the additional funding needed for overtime pay to the ministry.
