To continuously strengthen labor-management cooperation and improve employees’ working conditions, Chunghwa Post and its labor union completed the signing ceremony of the collective bargaining agreement amendment on April 30 2025. Representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication and the Ministry of Labor were invited to witness the event, demonstrating our commitment to promoting a friendly workplace culture, protecting workers’ rights, and fostering labor-management cooperation, thus laying a solid foundation for the company’s sustainable operation.

Since its signing on November 28, 2017, the Chunghwa Post Collective Agreement has undergone multiple rounds of negotiations and amendments. Through continuous communication and coordination, both the labor and management reached a consensus on the relevant amendments in December 2024, and the amendments were officially completed after being approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications on March 28, 2025. Without altering existing employment conditions and benefits, this amendment further improves employee welfare programs and labor rights protections, reflecting the Company’s governance philosophy of valuing employee well-being and fostering collaborative labor-management relations.

The latest revision of the collective agreement included amendments to 11 articles and the addition of one new article, resulting in a total of 51 articles after revision. Key amendments include stipulating that during labor dispute negotiation period, any reassignment of union representatives involved in the negotiations must be subject to prior communication and coordination with the union; adjusting the full attendance bonus system from quarterly calculation and payment to monthly calculation and quarterly payment; adding provisions to protect workers who suffer occupational injuries or illness from termination of their labor contracts unless otherwise permitted by law; and providing unions with free office space, equipment, communication, and utilities, etc., to enhance employee protection and promote labor-management cooperation. The revised collective agreement also incorporates occupational safety and health protection principles into its provisions. Several articles provide protections beyond those required under applicable laws and regulations, further enhancing employee safety and labor protection mechanisms and reflecting Chunghwa Post’s emphasis on employee well-being and workplace safety. At the same time, a stable foundation of labor-management cooperation helps enhance organizational resilience and maintain steady corporate development in the face of challenges such as postal business transformation and changes in the market environment.

In the future, Chunghwa Post will continue to deepen labor-management cooperation, improve employee welfare and workplace environment, create a happy corporate culture, and take a solid labor-management partnership as an important foundation for the Company’s sustainable business operations, working together to promote the long-term development of the postal service.
