1. Background – analyses of current contexts
1.1 : Currently China Airlines Employees’ Union(CAEU) has 3,000 women members and
in 1999, the women committee has been established. However, for the past 3 years,
women committee had no any activities for women workers and some members in
women committee intended to dismiss the committee, because they thought it was a
passive organization without actual function.
1.2 : In the past 10 years, CAEU did not have Gender balance in its council and leadership,
according to the past record, we knew that the ratio of women participants in the
Council is getting less and less. In this term of Council, there are only 3 women
members while 27 male in the Council, all the gender issues seem to be ignored and
could not obtain support and difficult to be addressed.
1.3 : Due to local regional union located in 6 different areas, the women workers belonged
to the mechanic factory and KaoHsiung area have never attended into the CAEU
council even the women committee, they have never attended trade union movements
and CAEUWC seems no sense to them.
1.4 : The major women workers are the flight attendants and they fly to 37 stations all over
the world everyday, they only can be contacted via internet email and get the trade
union information from internet. They are not allocate in the same fixed office.
2. Target Groups (and other parties to be involved)

3. Situation and Problems – analyses of problems and their causes
[Problem 1]
Women workers have reluctancy on CAEU trade union . They do want to spend time on
trade union movement. They are not positive to Trade union issues.
[Cause(s) of Problem 1]
3
Due to 6 different working areas and different jobs assigned, there is a problem of asking
for duty-leaves for women committee members to join trade union meetings and activities.
The company policy is stricted to approve the leaves and this is the main reson which
discourages women committee members to participate CAEU leadership and to get
involved in the trade union movements.
[Problem 2]
The ratio of women participation in CAEU leadership is very low, even became zero
since 2001. The ratio of women participants of CAEU council is one eighth. The women
issues and gender issues can not be addressed in the trade union. The women committee
became weak due to members getting few in the past two years.
[Cause(s) of Problem 2]
Major women workers have negative attitude towards trade union issues, the male
unionists run trade union in a political way, this guide the unionists becoming
troublemakers, and this situation impact them on participating any CAEU activites.
We want to develop women leadership in CAEU and strengthen women communication
and enhance their capacity using emails and website in order to increse the interest of
participation in trade union, build up an interactive website to dismintae CAEU
information and collect women workers’ openions and voices and questions and response
on them. .
Our strategy is to have proposal of quota system in CAEU leadership, ste up a policy for
women workers’ participation in trade union, provide the positive informations about
women leadership from outside of Taiwan and change their attitude.
