It's been reported that the labor minister that was present at the negotiations demanded that management make a photocopy of all their documents, and the kind labor minister proceeded to hand it over to the union. Totally not a "neutral" arbitrator.
The company is now filing police reports for stolen passports at the police station and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now helping the company issue new passports for those that can't get it back.
A non-union member also posted a screenshot of her facebook conversation with the leader of the union Ms. Liao. In that conversation, Ms. Liao bullied the FA, asking her why she did not join the union, that she was a free-loader, and that she was super "disappointed" in this FA. When confronted, all she could do was cry and say that she was just following up after this FA voiced concerns to another FA about the union. What a joke.

how? having public support is meaningless as Eva likes to say, they are a private business accountable to shareholders only. Let's see how many affected customers are supportive? the FA have zero relationship or obligations to the customers as the ticket agreement is between Eva and the passenger.
or you mean he's setting up for gov't bailout of Eva where public support is important?
what good is public support? is public going to compensate Eva for the losses? lol

I understand you are a labor union supporter, that's fine. But [Moderator edit].not everyone needs to fall in line with TFAU. The union is not a mob. Membership is not compulsory, and therefore, it is her right to join or not to join. It is not the union's right to openly harass and intimidate non-union workers in an effort to increase membership.

Where was it implied that the non-union FA used union benefits?

Literal admission here that the union is nothing more than a protection racket. You couldn't make this stuff up.

A Taiwan news media reported a "good-looking" BR ground staff angrily criticized the striking FAs at TPE by loudly voice: "if you are unhappy to work (as FAs), let me do it!." The news evoked a counter attack from a FA, who posted on FB that she was surprised that the news portraits the ground staff as good looking. She then told the ground staff "Go look at the mirror, you think this face of yours can qualify you as a FA?"

Moderator note
Labor disputes affecting airline service understandably raise passionate issues. But going forward, we ask two requests: First, please observe FlyerTalk rule 12 and discuss the topic, while avoiding personal attacks or personalized discussion of member acts or motivations. (Some posts have been edited or deleted because of Rule 12.) Second, please be aware that in this Eva Air forum, let's relate the labor dispute to the airline and its services. Meta-discussion of a particular union or figures in management in and of itself, with no relation to the effect on the airline is more apt to the FlyerTalk OMNI forum, rather than this one.

Losses surpass 1B NT mark
EVA Air expects revenue losses from the ongoing cabin crew strike to be around NT$1.07 billion ($34.3 million).
The carrier says in a stock exchange disclosure that it has cancelled 248 flights since 20 June, when the strike began. Other impact costs are still being estimated.

yet
But as others say, they have public support so the public can compensate them through tax dollars to show support

i thought they still keep the revenue when they rebook the passengers? it seems that you are so biased against the management that your response is getting to a point of being nonsense.

It appears that EVA will resume the following long haul destinations from July.
Europe: London and Paris
North America: Vancouver
Amsterdam, Brisbane, Chicago, Toronto and Vienna remain fully cancelled. To be honest, surprise about Toronto.
