資本主義的英雄--蘋果創辦人賈伯斯過世舉世哀働，而製作蘋果手機的富士康工人自戕、傷亡者不計其數，他們黯然隕落的生命該由誰來追悼？王雪紅打造的hTC手機號稱台灣之光，確冷眼旁觀供應商洋華的勞資爭議，首富的台灣和窮人的台灣是同一個地方嗎？

洋華光電的勞工們在他們的工作中，都清楚地感受到他們多少個加班的日子都是為了趕宏達電的「急件」，宏達電在面對洋華勞資爭議時的拒絕與敷衍，殘忍地打碎了勞工的希望，於是部分大學生及研究生們聯合起來，開始一連串與血汗生產鏈的游擊戰役.....
2010年1月至8月期間，全球最大的代工企業——富士康科技集團陸續發生了17起自殺事件。…來自兩岸三地20所高校的60多名師生發起針對富士康的聯合調研。來自深圳龍華廠區和觀瀾廠區的影像展現了工人上下班的大場面。接著由來自蘇州昆山的老員工張厚飛和深圳跳樓事件倖存者田玉講述自己的故事...

許多知名品牌都有著一套展現自我精神的標語，而Google的「Do No Evil」就是強調不用違反道德的事情來牟利。雖然這意有所指地突顯了不做壞事對商人來說是多麼難得，且讓人開始懷疑起其他企業的營利手段，但另一方面也突顯了對一個重視品牌形象的公司來說，道德的面向似乎不得不下點功夫。
這兩年發展非常蓬勃的高科技產品中，智慧型手機當然是相當受到矚目的，而強調「Do No Evil」的Google也在設計智慧型手機的作業系統之餘，與台灣知名品牌HTC合作，推出了Google名下的第一支智慧型手機。值得我們反問的是，到底什麼才是「Do No Evil」？

為了哀悼一些因為工作過勞死的高科技產業工程師，一群年輕人，選擇在熱鬧的台北光華商場，舉辦一個燭光晚會。 在台北市八德路與新生北路口的轉角靜坐，用小蠟燭在地上排列成一個蘋果圖形，象徵某些高科技產業，為了賺錢，不斷壓榨公司裡的工程師，不斷要求他們加班，一個月加班甚至超過200小時，導致工程師過勞死，這幾個年輕人，沒有資源可以向大廠商抗議，只能拿出一張張報導過勞死的新聞，在這靜坐，為那些因為超時加班，過勞而死的勞工們喊冤，也期待國內的政府單位能注意到高科技產業，違背勞基法的情況。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 全文轉載自華視新聞網 http://news.cts.com.tw/cts/society/201105/201105060729955.html |
Taipei, May 7 (CNA) Taiwanese groups hosted a candlelight vigil late Friday to call attention to the long hours facing employees of local high-tech companies, part of a worldwide action to protest poor working conditions in the information technology (IT) sector.
Launched by European nongovernmental organizations, the makeITfair campaign urged consumers in Europe and around the world to participate in the "International makeITfair Action Day" on May 7 through street demonstrations and social media.
In Taiwan, at least 100 people gathered Friday night in a late-night ceremony held at a major shopping area for electronic goods in downtown Taipei.
They chanted slogans and hoisted signs condemning sweatshop factories and excessively long working hours in the high-tech sector.
Huang Tzu-hua, a member of the High-tech Cold-Blooded Youngs, one of the event's four main organizers, said Apple Inc. is making a fortune from selling its iPad and iPhone, but the workers at Apple's assembly lines in China are not getting their fair share.
Instead, they work long hours at minimal pay, and some sacrifice their health or even their lives in inhumane working conditions.
A number of high-profile cases over the past year have highlighted the plight of workers in some factories in China making parts or finish goods for Apple.
In one such case, Taiwan-based Wintek Corp. was forced to pay compensation in February to 137 workers who were poisoned during the production of touch-screen panels for Apple products. At the Shenzhen complex of Foxconn Technology Group (also known as the Hon Hai Group in Taiwan) , another big Apple supplier, 19 workers attempted suicide from early 2010 to early 2011, with 16 successful.
Many believe the workers were driven to take their lives by harsh working conditions that treated humans as machines.
Apple is expected to draw scrutiny around the world on makeITfair Action Day.
Under the slogan "Time to bite into a fair Apple, " activist groups such as Sacom in Hong Kong, Somo in the Netherlands and Germanwatch in Germany have asked people to crowd into Apple stores and ask about working conditions in Apple's factories and supply chain.
Aside from targeting Apple, the protesters in Taiwan also picked on HTC Corp., the country's largest mobile phone maker.
They called HTC a "sweatshop factory" and accused it of abusing its operators and engineers by making them work more than 12 hours on a daily basis, the groups said.
Tuner Kuo, a former HTC engineer who showed up at the event, told Central News Agency that he attended because he was thankful for the concern and support shown by the civic groups.
"But I don't think HTC is a sweatshop company, " he said.
"Compared with other major giants, the pay is relatively good, both for operators and engineers." He said it would not be fair to single out HTC, because the real problems were industry-wide and involved the changes and challenges facing Taiwan's IT industry.
One of the changes is that engineers are given shorter times to develop new mobile phones. Five years ago, companies had 15 months to roll out new designs, but now they have only have nine months, meaning engineers have to work extra hours to meet demand.
"It's not just engineers who are working past midnight every day.
Even managers and general managers stay up late," he said.
"Most of the engineers are very committed to their job, and sometimes they forget to take good care of themselves, " he said, adding that the government should step in and help solve the excessive overwork problem.
The problem has received considerable attention in Taiwan because of the suspected deaths from exhaustion of many local workers, including a Kuo colleague, 30-year-old Hsieh Hung-ming, in February.

高科技冷血青年、青年勞動九五聯盟、台灣大學研究生協會等學生團體組成的五一反貧困大遊行青年大隊，22日下午來到台灣首富王雪紅家門口抗議，一對年輕男女以三點不露裸身行動表達「寧裸不窮」的信念，也象徵被層層剝削的勞動力。同時提出五點訴求：反對血汗品牌；要求健全的勞動環境；抗議假學習真勞動的建教實習；立法禁止派遣，且不得擴張非典型僱用；校園的青年學術勞動者應納入勞基法。

由於勞工過勞死及勞工基本薪資少得可憐，今天一群青年團體現身台灣女首富王雪紅家門口抗議產業剝削勞工，一對年輕男女還裸身上陣，上演行動劇，提出「寧裸不窮」的訴求。
青年代表表示，過去一年的經濟成長，反拉大台灣貧富差距，宏達電董事長王雪紅榮登新首富，但財富的來源均來自壓榨基層勞工，例如宏達達下游供應商洋華就是欺負建教合作生，壓榨基層勞工。

今年是個階級更加懸殊的一年。隨著科技發展，走在捷運上視線中多了許多觸控螢幕，直到上個月，我們甚至還多了一個新首富。
青年消費者反血汗
消費的時候，我們接觸的商品總是亮麗的；在勞動的時候，我們卻看到醜陋的老闆嘴臉。青年是消費力特別高的一群，常在生產鍊末端扮演消費者的角色，看到美麗包裝的同時，也要想想，這或許是生產鏈中勞工被迫犧牲家庭與健康的結果！青年消費者要求真正有人性的產品，品牌商應立即改變血汗生產過程！
生產鍊殺人換勞基法重罰六萬
父母拼命供子女念書，期盼子女進入有「前途」的公司，過好日子；然而進了有「前途」的公司，又得超時工作，確保自己對公司的「產值」。青年生產出一件又一件自己買不起的高級產品、一個又一個的國際品牌與上流富豪；但當又一個年輕工程師死在桌前，公司所付出的代價卻僅是「重罰六萬」？生產鍊正在殺人，青年有權要求健全的勞動環境，拒絕「過勞死或餓死」二選一的未來！

蘋果的iPhone和HTC的智慧手機讓科技迷趨之若鶩，但卻有勞工團體指稱，其實智慧型手機的生產過程充斥血汗工廠的問題。高科技冷血青年成員黃姿華指出，台灣社會應該正視高科技產業鏈的剝削問題，消費者更應該要求品牌廠商盡到所位的企業社會責任。
3月24日，洋華工會再次與立委黃淑英和林淑芬於立法院舉行記者會，揭露洋華僱用稻江管理學院學生，以「實習」的名義打工，嚴重侵害學生的受教權，等於為洋華變相引進廉價勞工，教育部顯有嚴重失職之嫌。以下是公視和民視的兩段報導：
