Taipei Ag company threatens three day slowdown

Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Co workers yesterday threatened to launch a slowdown for three days in the run-up to the Lunar New Year in protest against the city government’s plan to raise the company’s rent.

The Taipei City Council passed a motion to increase the rent on the company’s parking lot, cold room and the space housing the No.1 Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market in Zhongshan District by 15 percent, which would nearly double the rent the city charges the company.

He added that if both the council and the city government decide to move ahead with the resolution, the union would launch a slowdown ahead of the Lunar New Year, which falls on Jan. 28.

“We will ask all concerned divisions to contact farmers and distributors to suspend the supply [of produce] during those days,” he said.
