「抗議惡老闆！壓榨護理師！」7/16上午，臺灣護理產業工會與台灣醫療工會聯合會及高雄市獨立總工會等聲援團體，將赴「僾彼高榮育仁診所」抗議。

僾彼診所長期使用違法的「負時數、工時水庫」制度來挪移護理師的工時、苛扣加班費，還有超時排班、勞保高薪低報、不合理高額違約金等諸多違法情事。許多護理師不忍血汗剝削的工作環境，離職時卻反遭到診所苛扣最後一個月薪資、甚至被診所提告，彷彿是診所對於離職護理師的懲罰。

如此「惡老闆、先告狀」的行徑，激起護理師與工會憤怒，工會將在診所門口召開記者會，揭露僾彼診所惡行惡狀、說明僾彼診所違反的十多條勞動法令、以及積欠護理師加班費的金額。遭老闆提告的護理師本人也將親自現身，說明在診所內工作的狀況。最後，工會將上演行動劇，進一步說明「負時數、工時水庫」制度的問題，並頒發「惡老闆認證」給診所老闆，呼籲老闆撤銷對護理師的告訴、返還多年來積欠護理師的加班費，並誠心悔改、改善診所制度，不要再壓榨霸凌護理師。

The Kaohsiung Independent Federation of Unions joined hands with allied unions today to defend the dignity and rights of Taiwan’s nurses.

Together with the Taiwan Nurses Unions, the Taiwan Federation of Medical Unions, and other labor allies, we gathered outside AiBi GaoRong YuRen Clinic to stand in solidarity with nurses who’ve faced exploitation and retaliation.

The clinic has long engaged in unlawful practices, including using a pooled working hours system to offset overtime and avoid paying overtime wages, enforcing excessive shift schedules, underreporting salaries for labor insurance, and imposing inflated penalties or withholding pay upon contract termination.

At today’s press conference, unions exposed over a dozen labor law violations and detailed the unpaid overtime amounts. Former nurses courageously shared their personal experiences, drawing public attention to the mistreatment and injustices faced by healthcare workers. To highlight the damage caused by these exploitative timekeeping systems, union members staged a street performance calling on the clinic’s leadership to:

• Immediately withdraw the unjust lawsuits against its nurses
• Repay all outstanding wages and overtime
• Review and reform its employment practices
• Restore a respectful, secure workplace for all nursing staff

The Kaohsiung Independent Federation of Unions firmly believes that only through unity and action can workers’ rights be protected. We’re grateful for the support of fellow unions today. On the road to justice, we are never alone.
