No public support for TRA strike: Wang

The Taiwan Railway Labor Union should think twice before going on strike on International Workers’ Day on May 1, as the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) would lose public support if a strike restricts travel, Minister of Transportation and Communications Wang Kuo-tsai (王國材) said yesterday.
The union on Wednesday voted to strike on May 1 if the government continues to pursue a plan to turn the agency into a state-run corporation, disregarding the union’s requests.
Half of all TRA workers might participate in the strike, the union said.
“We hope the union will reconsider [its plan], as the agency has gained support
