ImplicationsforEmploymentRelationsandPolicy
Manymacroandindividualfactorscontributetothedevelopmentofdispatchedwork.Forinstance,transformationofeconomicstructure,globalmarketcompetition,undertakingoflaborflexibilitystrategiesandchangeofvaluebetweenemployersandemployeesarealldirectlyorindirectlyconducivetothedevelopmentofdispatchedwork.[8]
LaborunionsinsomeOECDcountriesweredefensive,negativeandevenrepulsiveinattitudetowarddispatchedworkers.Nevertheless,inrecognitionoftheirreversibilityofdispatchedwork,laborunionshaveadjustedtheirattitudeandtriedtofindanappropriatestrategyandmethodtocope.
LiketheircounterpartsinOECDcountries,laborunionsinTaiwanalwaysexpressopenlytheirhostilityagainstdispatchedworkanddispatchedworkers.Laborunionsinmanufacturingandconstructionindustriesandsmall-sizedlaborunionsareindeedmoreinclinedtobeexclusivetodispatchedworkers.Nevertheless,laborunionsingeneralarenotinclinedtobeasexclusive,themajorityofthemevenagreeingonthequestionoftheirabilitytooffermoreprotectiontodispatchedworksifmembershipisallowed.
Mostofthedispatchedworkersarefemaleworkersandnoneofthemarelaborunionmembers.Sincejobinsecurityisthemajorconcernofdispatchedworkers,theirinclinationtojoinlaborunionsseemstobeveryhigh.
Thoughbothdispatchedworkersandlaborunionsarenothostiletoeachother,therestillareobstaclestotheformertojointhelatter.Oneofthemislegal.TheLaborUnionActprecludesdispatchedworkersfromjoininglaborunionsinuserenterprises,ofwhichtheyarenotemployees.Theactmustbeamendedtoprovidedispatchedworkerswithmoreopportunitiestojoinorparticipateineitheruserenterprise-basedordispatchedworkagency-basedlaborunions.
Thereisnodoubtthatjobseekersmayusedispatchedworkasasteppingstonetolonger-termandmoresecureemployment.Theirmotivationistoreducethetimeandcosttolookforjobsinthetriangulararrangement.Femaleworkers,inparticular,finddispatchedworktosatisfytheirdemandforflexibilityinwork.[9]However,tosomeunskilledworkersthepossibilityofbeing“permanentdispatchedworkers”doesexist,sinceskilldeficiencymakeitdifficultforthemtolandlonger-termandmoresecurejobsinthelabormarket.[10]
DispatchedworkhasbecomewidelyacceptedbyenterprisesinTaiwan,especiallythoseengagedinserviceindustriesandwithaforeigncapitalbackground,inenlargingtheirflexibilityinhumanresourceemployment.Undersuchcircumstances,employmentrelationsareboundchange.Forinstance,thenumberofworkerslackingjobsecuritywouldincreaseowingtothedevelopmentofdispatchwork,andlabor-managementrelationsinindividualenterprisewouldbecometenserwhenmanyperipheraljobsarefilledwithdispatchedworkers.Inthefaceofthistransformation,however,thegovernmentinTaiwancannotmakeupitsmindwhereitshouldstandintheprocessoflegitimizingdispatchwork,eitherbeingprotoemployersorcontoworkers,orviceversa.Undoubtedly,ifthelegitimizingofdispatchedworkweredelayed,rightsofallpartiesinvolvedinthetriangulararrangementwouldbeheavilyimpaired.
Besides,howtohelpfemaleworkersnottobecomepermanentdispatchedworkersisofmuchconcerntothegovernment.Generallyspeaking,educationandtrainingarethemostimportantmeansoffacilitatinglabormobility.Accordingly,theresponsibilityofdispatchedworkagenciesforgivingeducationandtrainingtodispatchedworkersshouldbeclearlystipulated.Otherwise,dispatchedworkerswillfinditdifficulttodeveloptheircareerandfurtherdevelopmentofdispatchedworkmightalsobehindered.
