In two days it will be May 1st, International Workers’ Day.
To celebrate, local labor groups will organize a parade to protest the exploitation of workers.
They are also unhappy with the minimum wage as more than 60 percent of workers earn less than NT$37,000 and 40 percent below NT$30,000.
Furthermore, real wages have fallen below levels 14 years ago. Labor activists plan to take to the streets on May 1st to express their anger and frustration with the Ma Administration.
