Screening and Discussion: Clement Town 舒適小鎮

HA Building II University Road No.1001, Hsinchu City, Taiwan, Taiwan

舒適小鎮(Clement Town)命名自當時受到台灣政府經濟支持,在今日印度北安查爾邦(Uttarakhand)建造的隱密小鎮,這個小鎮是擁有1970年代最先進的供水及供電設備的印度城鎮之一,由為台灣工作的當地情報人員設計、建造,據當時一份政府出版品的紀錄,類似的小鎮在與中國接壤的印度領土上曾多達二十多個,後來得以來台就學的孩童,或多或少與這些城鎮的居民有關在這次的計畫當中,我自當年的檔案中篩選出三組透過擺拍所完成的影像,分別是在相館拍攝的紀念照、在基隆港拍攝的合照,與少女們抵台就學前所拍攝的照片。我邀請表演者與當年參與或間接參與接運計畫及邊境上特殊行動的人們見面,試圖透過交談與詮釋,重新創造出這些照片被拍下前的樣貌,部分在當時的拍攝地點,如基隆港西側二號碼頭、今已成為停車場的特殊學校等地,還原照片被拍攝前所發生的事件。

廢除工作年限-移工大遊行 中英印越泰各語言路線圖 集結時間:2025年12月07日(日) 下午12:30集合 13:30出發 集結地點:勞動部(台北市中山區松江路207號) 遊行終點:立法院(台北市中正區中山南路1號) 遊行路線: 松江路→民生東路迴轉→松江路→南京東路→林森南路→濟南路→中山南路 藍領移工在台灣 #工作年限為12年,許多屆滿年限的移工雖然想繼續留台工作,卻因為年限到了只能無奈離境。 近年,政府提出了 #中階聘僱制度,希望吸引技術熟練的勞工留台,但是否留任並協助移工申請中階,#決定權全在於雇主,移工為了留下來,往往只能接受更多不利條件,面對更多被仲介雇主剝削的風險。 在工作年限的限制下,#移工就像免洗筷般用完即丟,將最好的青春年華與勞動力奉獻給了台灣社會,我們卻幾乎不需要承擔他們老年的退休保障或照顧,這是赤裸的不公平。 今年的我們要主張: 所有藍領移工,都應該和其他外國勞動者一樣,不受台灣工作年限限制,能自主決定想在台灣工作多久! 誠摯地邀請大家,12月7日一起上街,要求廢除藍領移工的工作年限!
