The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union (TFAU) initiated a strike on 23 June 2016, over the overtime work and harsh labor conditions. The TFAU and China Airline held a collective bargaining on 25, over the outstation allowance. The China Airline promise to improve the condition of outstation allowance and these conditions only enjoyed by the members of the union (TFAU). However, the members of China Airline Employees Union (CAEU) were granted the same condition of outstation allowance as the TFAU by China Airline. Thus, the Ministry of Labor adjudicated that China Airline violated the collective agreement [the Free-Rider clause] between TFAU. The China Airline filed a suit against the Ministry to Taipei High Administrative Court for revoking the adjudication.<\/p>\n

The Court held that the collective agreement between TFAU and China Airline owns a contract-binding duty. And it is an achievement of TFAU that shares only between the union members which is the very spirit of \u201cFree-Rider clause\u201d. However, China Airline granted the same condition of outstation allowance to the CAEU which has never initiate strike or bargain, violated the Free-Rider clause. And causing a lowering-rate of new recruits joining the TFAU. The Court holding that China Airline indeed violated the collective agreement and Labor Union Act \u00a735(1)(5)\u2014Improper influence.<\/p>\n

However, the Court held in its judgment concerning the collective bargain. The Court held that the collective agreement between TFAU and China Airline was not a proper \u201cCollective Agreement\u201d under the law. Thus, the parties were only binding by its contractual duty which has been criticized for its unusual reasoning of the Court.<\/p>\n
