Worker Participation, Consultation and Communications

Worker Participation, Consultation and Communications

FPCC ensures that employees are informed in advance of any major changes to its operation in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and other laws and regulations. Employees can provide FPCC with suggestions through the Welfare Committee, labor-management meetings, labor union, and Occupational Safety and Health Committee; they may also reflect issues through the complaint system (Complaint Regulations). All employees are 100% protected by any agreement reached in labor-management meetings or with labor unions on salary increase or year-end bonus, for example.

The Company's labor conditions and employee welfare system are better than required by current laws, and the Company's managers participate in all labor organizations, such as the Welfare Committee and labor-management meetings. Issues raised by employees are regularly reviewed and explained. For major labor-management issues, the Company will first listen to opinions of the labor union, and senior managers discuss and negotiate with the labor unit to reach a consensus. For example, the labor/management meetings and Welfare Committee made a total of 69 proposals in 2023. Except for 3 proposals that are still being discussed, the remaining 66 have been properly concluded (95% and above), implementing the spirit of the "Collective Agreement Act" that labor and management should engage in collective bargaining based on the principle of good faith, and protecting employees' collective bargaining rights.
