The amendment included will exacerbate the inequality in the society by giving more rights to the business owner. The labour law is currently skewed towards businesses without regard to the health of workers and will surely further reduce the incentive for business to innovate and find ways to improve its efficiency.
Government will likely to suppress the worker from taking further education and development with its planned amendments and further reduce possible productivity growth that is required to increase future wage.
Do consider carefully and i have not seem a government that changes its mind regularly without any thorough thoughts, which is madness on such an important issue.

學界反對《勞基法》修惡之聯署聲明
這項修正案將會加重社會上的不平等，賦予業主更多的權利。 目前，勞動法偏向企業並忽視了勞工的健康，而且肯定會進一步降低企業創新的動力，並尋求提高效率的途徑。
