高雄捷運爆發泰勞反抗不人性管理事件，國際勞工協會、人權組織及工會團體昨天前往勞委會聲援泰勞，要求勞委會追究失職行政官員責任，取消私人仲介制制，推動仲介公營化，並呼籲曾為政治犯的勞委會主委陳菊正視外勞勞動人權，不得秋後算帳遣返外勞，確保抗暴外勞工作權。
勞工團體昨天動員約50人，高舉「反奴役」、「抗暴有理」標語布條，前往勞委會聲援泰勞，要求會見陳菊未果，與警察發生推擠，現場混亂。

'INHUMAN TREATMENT': Hundreds of Thai workers in Kaohsiung took the law into their own hands to protest what they call unacceptable treatment by their employer
Tuesday, Aug 23, 2005,Page 1 Taipei Times STAFF WRITER WITH DPA , TAIPEI
Thai workers clear debris from a riot in Kaohsiung yesterday. More than 1,700 Thai workers set fire to a management shack, burnt cars and hurled rocks at police after their employers refused to allow them to drink, smoke and use cellphones when they were off work, police said yesterday. The violence erupted late on Sunday among the workers, hired to help build a mass-transit railway project in Kaohsiung.

Protesting what they called "unfair and unjust" treatment, more than 100 foreign workers, mostly Thais, staged the severest riot ever involving alien labors in Taiwan near Kaohsiung City. They burned houses, cars and facilities, and attacked police Sunday night before being subdued by riot police. No serious injuries were reported.

高雄捷運工地爆發國內有史以來最大規模外勞暴動，外勞團體痛批，部分仲介採軍事化管理，動輒扣款懲罰，有人一天被扣兩千元，有人被罰站，住宿環境髒亂又擁擠，猶如豢養動物，根本是美國黑奴制度在台重生。仲介業者也坦承，嚴格管理加上高額扣款當懲罰，常成為衝突發生來源。

高雄捷運公司的「外勞」抗爭事件，媒體多以「暴動」稱之。而輿論與政府相關單位的關切，似也集中在「是否繼續引進外勞」、「將帶頭者遣送出境」等表象，儼然把這群外勞當作「問題製造者」。但若對這些被稱為「外勞」的移工在台的處境稍有了解，就會赫然發現他們的生活與工作條件，早已違背了文明國家的最低人權標準。稱之為國際法上的「強制勞動」（forced labor）甚或「奴役」（servitude），絕不為過。如果不改善這些非人化處境，那麼外勞的激烈抗爭，就像從前美國黑奴層出不窮的流血抗暴事件一樣正當，絕不能單以「非法暴動」視之。

外勞管理又出狀況，仲介業者、勞工團體都認為，主因在於業者沒將「外勞」當成自家人，缺乏人性化管理。外勞長久沒有適度的宣洩管道，一發就難以收拾。

（中央社記者汪淑芬台北2005年8月22日電）高雄捷運工地發生泰勞不滿雇主不當管理暴動事件，國際勞工協會今天發表聲明指出，外勞提出實報加班費等訴求，都是最起碼的勞動條件，卻也凸顯台灣外勞政策弱化外勞的核心問題，國際勞工協會要求勞委會開放外勞籌組工會，爭取自身權益。
