  After over one-year struggle with the bank and government, Lai Wan Chih, President of National Federation of Bank Employees UnionsNFBEUand AROBIFU Treasurer has gained dignity and respect as a continuous union fighter over 20 years in banking unions and in Taiwan labor movement. On June 30th 2010, The First Bank headquarter sent out the formal letter of approval of brother LAI Wan-Chih's paid work leaves sustained until end of his term of office on April 30th 2012.

  In mid-June 2010, Secretary General to the President, Mr. Liao Liouyi, NFBEU President Lai, Vice President Lin, Secretary General Hang and Managing Board Director Huang met at the Office of the President. NFBEU representatives had promises from Liao which were realized after some days. Brother Lai has gained his right and dignity back which proves that justice should return to labor that deserves it.

  When Lai was re-elected as union president on April 22nd, 2009, Lai's employer, the First Bank, began union agitation to ask him to apply paid work leaves every 3 months which entirely obeys the previous custom that recognized by both sides. Though the Council of Labor Affairs, the central competent authority on labor affairs in Taiwan, has formally declared on this certain case that "it should be settled in accordance with previous custom", the First Bank chairman Mr. Chen Yuh Chang insisted on implementation to humiliate brother Lai intentionally.

  Mr. Chen Yuh Chang has been appointed as chairperson of Financial Supervisory CommissionFSC Taiwan before the Lai case settles. He should be our next target for protest because the man who has been doing union agitation does not qualify as a chairperson of financial supervisory body. The current chairman is well known experienced in industrial relations, Mr. Tsai Ching Nai.
