But this has to stop or no one will be willing to invest in taiwan.
These type of strikes and uncontrollable union will kill every single industry it touches. Taiwanese government has not shown its willingness to deal with bullying and public wellbeing.
Citizen will have to take action to do the right thing. Getting other international agency involved. This is very sad for me as taiwan born citizen.
Your ongoing polemics remind me of Henry Ford's union busting methodology of the 1930's. They didn't work then and they won't work now. Yes, please go ahead with your threat to complain to the FAA/EASA/DHS. Be sure to include your vivid claims. Your complaint will be taken seriously, but I expect in a manner different than what you expect.

As for the comment on no one willing to invest in Taiwan, I doubt any investor really cares about EVA's labour dispute. The disruptions for these people would have been minimal. Anyway, if investment gets bad, I understand that there are millions of people in the region who would be delighted to visit and invest.

And a word of caution: Your words may play well to a vocal minority in Taiwan over the age of 40, and may be popular with some on this forum, but they go over like a lead balloon with the younger demographic in Taiwan, and they don't assure people who come from countries and cultures where labour union activity is an integral part of basic human rights and freedoms. Instead of blaming everyone, but the company, recognize that labour disputes involve two parties and the company doesn't have clean hands nor honourable motives either. EVA management is stuck in a different era.
