[quote=“Mother Theresa”]Apparently it’s illegal for Taiwan employers to discriminate based on gender, physical handicap or being an aborigine, but I haven’t found reference to any law prohibiting discrimination based on race or ethnicity (aside from aborigines). And the articles only say the court found the employer guilty of bias.
Ok, so they were biased; but did they violate a law? Anyone know?[/quote]
There are laws concerning discrimination, but I don’t know much more than that.
This first one sort of sets the tone, but I don’t know what its specific implications are:
[quote]All citizens of the Republic of China, irrespective of sex, religion, race, class, or party affiliation, shall be equal before the law.[/quote]–Article 7, ROC Constitution (emphasis added)
This one is more specific, but I’m not sure how it would be applied:
[quote]For the purpose of ensuring national’s think that national here means ROC citizen–cj] equal opportunity in employment, Employer is prohibited from discriminating against any Job Applicant or Employee on the basis of race, class, language, thought, religion, political party, place of origin, place of birth, gender, gender orientation, age, marital status, appearance, facial features, disability, or past membership in any labor union; matters stated clearly in other laws shall be followed in priority.[/quote]–Article 5 (in pertinent part), Employment Services Act (emphasis and bracketed note added)
I don’t know whether the quote below can help with your question, but I’m posting it here just in case:
