BR7 and 8 (TPE/SFO): EVA flight attendants demand proper rest time in sit-in protest

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3346200

Flight attendants serving Sunday's BR8 (6:30am arrival same day) only have 28 hours of rest in San Francisco then serving Monday 12:20pm BR7 to TPE. Questions:

1. I don't know how BR schedules FAs. How about BR17/18 and BR27/28, which are evening departures from TPE and SFO? Does crew get more hours to rest?
2. Why can't BR schedule BR8 crew to serve BR17/BR27 return? If BR7/8 is daily later, would this problem go away?
3. How about United, which serves SFO-TPE? When UA871/872 used 787-9 and sCO FAs, my impression is that FAs arrived in TPE in the evening, then served the next morning back to SFO.
4. How come no protest on LAX and SEA, which also have daytime flights?

Are FAs asking too much? How much rest are they supposed to get?

The image was copied from BR Chinese site. Time is Taipei local time. English site has no such news. The top portion is Sunday morning's BR8. The bottom is evening BR28.
