🌏2026年5月4日，國立陽明交通大學舉辦「全球生產網絡、國家與移工：半導體產業中的勞動治理」演講，邀請國立高雄師範大學陳亭茜助理教授主講。

💫陳老師從跨國勞動體制的角度出發，帶領聽眾重新理解臺灣半導體產業的成功背後，如何仰賴一套由企業、國家、仲介與移工共同構成的多重尺度勞動體制。

🏭半導體產業升級背後，是移工成為不可或缺的基層勞動力
臺灣在全球半導體生產鏈中扮演重要的代工角色，從晶片設計、製造到封裝測試，形成高度分工的產業體系。以新竹科學園區與楠梓加工出口區（現已更名為楠梓科技產業園區）為例，新竹科學園區主要集中於晶片設計與製造，楠梓加工出口區則以封裝測試為主。根據2018年資料，新竹科學園區的移工比例約為5.7%，楠梓加工出口區則達13.2%。

這說明，即使半導體產業常被視為高科技、高附加價值產業，其生產運作仍高度依賴大量基層作業員與移工勞動。尤其楠梓加工出口區的發展歷程，更呈現出臺灣科技產業勞動結構的轉變，該區早期以成衣、電子零組件等勞力密集型產業為主，後來逐漸轉型為半導體封裝測試產業。隨著臺灣教育普及、在地勞動力進入工廠工作的意願下降，移工也逐步成為園區內不可或缺的重要勞動來源。

⚖️移工勞動條件不是單一企業決定，而是多重尺度共同形塑
本次演講的核心概念，是「多重尺度的勞動體制」。陳亭茜老師提醒，若要理解移工在臺灣科技業中的工作條件，不能只從單一工廠或個別雇主的管理方式來看，而必須同時放在全球、國家與地方三個層次中觀察。從全球層次來看，跨國品牌買家透過訂單、交期與企業行為準則，對臺灣代工廠形成商業壓力；同時，NGO與RBA等私人治理機制，也試圖介入供應鏈中的勞動治理。從國家層次來看，《就業服務法》、簽證政策與移工配額制度，規範了移工如何進入臺灣、如何工作，以及能否轉換雇主。至於地方層次，則涉及代工廠、私人仲介與地方勞動市場如何共同安排移工的工作、住宿與日常生活。

在全球生產網絡中，臺灣科技廠商雖然具有高度技術能力，但多數仍處於合約製造商的位置，必須回應品牌商短交期、零庫存與即時生產的要求。這種生產模式反映到基層勞動現場，便形成12小時輪班、產線不停機與高度時間壓力。換言之，移工所承受的勞動強度，並不能單純歸因於個別企業的管理選擇，而是全球供應鏈競爭、國家移工政策與地方用工制度相互交織後的結果。

📢 Event :6/2
Trade Policy and Labor Rights: Competition and Convergence ⚖️💼

📖 Introduction to the Event:
Amid the restructuring of global supply chains and intensifying geopolitical competition, trade policy is no longer limited to tariff reductions 🌐📈. It has increasingly become an important policy instrument for advancing labor rights protection and human rights standards. The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University School of Law and the International Center for Cultural Studies (ICCS) have long been concerned with this issue and have continued to explore related institutional developments. This event is organized by ICCS Subproject III, “Migration, Unequal Citizenship, and Critical Legal Studies,” and features Associate Professor Ying-Jun Lin of the Fu Jen Catholic University School of Law as the keynote speaker 👩‍🏫. The event will be moderated by Associate Professor Yu-Fan Chiu, the principal investigator of the project, with Attorney Yen-Po Chen of InfoShare Tech Law Office and Bonny Ling, Executive Director of Work Better Innovations, serving as discussants 🤝⚖️. Together, they will explore the complex relationship between trade policy and labor rights protection. This lecture will approach the issue from the perspective of international trade law, analyzing the interaction between trade liberalization and labor rights protection, while also examining the development and institutional implications of labor provisions in contemporary trade agreements.

📖 活動簡介：
1985年，胡耀邦在箇舊發表演說，敦促地方官員配合國家政策，推動對周邊礦產資源的「放開」。隨後，數以萬計原本被排除在礦業之外的勞動者湧入附近山區，參與礦產開採，並在接下來十年間帶動錫產量的顯著提升 。本論文透過考察此一時期礦業部門的開放過程，探討不同群體之間的競爭如何賦予政府既有「大」與「小」分類以新的意義。

自1980年代初以來，這些分類已被廣泛使用，既可指涉地殼中礦石品質的差異 ，也可指涉開採規模的大小 ，甚至涵蓋被授權從事採礦活動的組織類型。在雲南南部山區推動礦業改革的過程中，地方行動者必須發展出新的方式來吸納或排斥不同背景的勞動者 ，並在既有國有企業礦工與新進者之間建立山區中的社會關係 ，同時創新開採實踐，進一步改變國家、集體與私人經營組織之間的運作模式。關於規模、政府監管、勞動階序 、所有權、毛澤東時期基礎設施的命運 🏛，以及更為根本的問題——即「群眾」如何、以及是否能夠被納入這一開放中的經濟體系——等關鍵辯論，皆在箇舊周邊山區的具體實踐與衝突中被形塑與裁決。

📖 Abstract:
In 1985, Hu Yaobang gave a speech in Gejiu urging local officials to follow national efforts to “release” nearby minerals. Tens of thousands of workers who had previously been excluded from the industry subsequently flocked to the nearby mountains to aid in extraction efforts 🏔️. Tin outputs surged over the next decade . This essay explores the opening of the mining sector in this period by attending to how competition among different groups gave new meanings to the government's categories of Big and Small.

Common since the early 1980s, these designations could refer to the quality of ore in the earth's crust , the scale of extraction efforts 🏭, as well as the types of organizations authorized to mine. Reforming this sector in the mountains of southern Yunnan required local actors to pioneer new ways of both recruiting and repelling workers of various backgrounds, foster mountainside relationships between long-standing SOE miners and newcomers , and innovate extraction practices that further transformed state, collective, and privately run organizations. Crucial debates about scale, government oversight , hierarchies of labor, ownership, the fate of Maoist infrastructures , and, most fundamentally, if and how the “masses” (qunzhong) could be integrated into the opening economy came to be adjudicated on and in the mountains around Gejiu. This talk will offer a discussion of the broader context within which I undertook this research and a critical assessment of the legacies of this Reform era set of experiments.

📋 Synopsis
Governing Digital China (2026) by Daniela Stockmann and Ting Luo.

This reading forum discusses the book Governing Digital China (2026) by Daniela Stockmann and Ting Luo. It is organized into two parts: reading group discussions and a book talk by the authors. The book engages with the conceptual and empirical contributions of The Digital Dilemma, which interrogates how states navigate the tension between digital openness and political control . Focusing on China, it challenges the binary view that digital governance in authoritarian contexts is purely top-down. Instead, it introduces the concept of popular corporatism — a framework that foregrounds the dynamic, mutually dependent relationships among the state, platform companies, and citizens .

While digital technologies enable economic growth and innovation, they also facilitate collective action and potential political instability 📈⚠️. The Chinese case is particularly instructive because it combines strong regulatory capacity with a thriving digital economy. The authors argue that this balance cannot be explained by state control alone; rather, it emerges through ongoing negotiation with platform firms and user practices. The book also critically examines the Social Credit System as a concrete institutionalization of these dynamics — one in which data generated through everyday digital participation are repurposed for governance, evaluation, and behavioral regulation, blurring the boundary between economic incentives and political oversight .

This forum invites participants to reflect on how this triadic relationship reconfigures our understanding of power, governance, and participation in digital societies . How might this framework travel beyond China — to South and Southeast Asia, or even to liberal democracies? And what does it reveal about the political life of everyday digital practices?

📢 Event :6/2
Trade Policy and Labor Rights: Competition and Convergence ⚖️💼

📖 Introduction to the Event:
Amid the restructuring of global supply chains and intensifying geopolitical competition, trade policy is no longer limited to tariff reductions 🌐📈. It has increasingly become an important policy instrument for advancing labor rights protection and human rights standards. The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University School of Law and the International Center for Cultural Studies (ICCS) have long been concerned with this issue and have continued to explore related institutional developments. This event is organized by ICCS Subproject III, “Migration, Unequal Citizenship, and Critical Legal Studies,” and features Associate Professor Ying-Jun Lin of the Fu Jen Catholic University School of Law as the keynote speaker 👩‍🏫. The event will be moderated by Associate Professor Yu-Fan Chiu, the principal investigator of the project, with Attorney Yen-Po Chen of InfoShare Tech Law Office and Bonny Ling, Executive Director of Work Better Innovations, serving as discussants 🤝⚖️. Together, they will explore the complex relationship between trade policy and labor rights protection. This lecture will approach the issue from the perspective of international trade law, analyzing the interaction between trade liberalization and labor rights protection, while also examining the development and institutional implications of labor provisions in contemporary trade agreements.

🌍The Chip Era and Digital Governance：
📍Event Report: The Paradox of Automation: Generative AI and the Restructuring of Creative Work in South Korea and Taiwan

🤖On April 15, 2026, 國立陽明交通大學科技法律學院&科技法律研究所 NYCU School of Law & 文化研究國際中心 International Center for Cultural Studies (ICCS) co-hosted a lecture on generative AI and its impact on creative labor in Taiwan and South Korea." featuring Prof. Lee Kwang-Suk 이광석 from the Post-Future Research Institute, Korea National University of Science and Technology, Seoul.

✨Speaker: Prof. Kwang-Suk Lee | Post-Future Research Institute, Korea National University of Science and Technology, Seoul

🎤Moderator: Prof. Chi-Hui Liu (NYCU International Center for Cultural Studies)
……………………………………

. Kwang-Suk Lee argued that generative AI, driven by techno-optimism and FoMO, intensifies creative labor precarity in Taiwan and Korea through three crises: exploitative commodification, task-ification, and workslop. He calls for collective bargaining and institutional reform.

The lecture highlighted how generative AI causes alienation and exploitation in creative labor, underscoring the need for collective action and transnational solidarity to protect labor rights.

📌Discussant Prof. Sang-Min Kim noted that generative AI causes dual alienation for creative workers through unauthorized use and accelerated deskilling. He warned that gig workers adopting AI out of survival pressure risk hastening their own obsolescence, stressing collective action and caution against overextending FoMO.

📌Discussant Secretary-General Fu-Chuan Tseng 曾福全 noted that generative AI creates invisible labor and creative alienation through data extractivism, fragmentation, and deskilling. He stressed that workslop remains
uncompensated and called for mandatory AI risk disclosure, a ban on AI-based KPIs, and Taiwan-Korea union collaboration.

He called for mandatory AI risk disclosure in contracts, banning AI metrics in KPIs, and promoting cross-border union collaboration.

📌Discussant Associate Prof. Chiu 邱羽凡 emphasized prioritizing workers' rights over corporations, ensuring access to information, participation, and strengthening unions. AI governance must focus on workers' rights and adopt a critical approach to address AI's impact on labor.
