Not all EVA employees are part of that union as there is another union created for everyone in EVA. It's been said that there are selective screening processes for who can join this union (cannot be verified). This union wants a negotiation with EVA as well on 7/15 and will include this NT 5,000/day compensation into the conversation.

So there are now 4 unions. A union for pilots, a Taoyuan union for FAs, two additional EVA unions for everyone. FAs and pilots can join 2+ unions.

This appears to be a move to appease the ground staff as most ground staff are not pro what the Taoyuan FA union wants.

EVA is saying it's the same people who are controlling in both unions trying to create chaos in the company.

Some ground staff don't buy what the FA wants and created their own green ribbon pact to support EVA (been there for 1+ month). Most ground staff don't want to strike not only because they are easily replaced, but they are also the people who have to handle the aftermath of the strike. The FAs and Pilots don't have to do anything after the strike, they just go back to rotation after everything is back on schedule, but the ground staff still have to clean up the mess (whether in-house or at the airport).
