NHRC suggests that the law be revised to align with Article 80-1 of the Labor Standards Act, 107 which mandates transparency. Specifically, Article 42 of the Act for Distant Water Fisheries should include provisions requiring the disclosure of inspection findings, penalties imposed, and subsequent follow-up measures. Public reporting by the competent authority would enhance accountability and transparency in labor inspections. (8) Guarantee foreign fishers’ freedom of association and implement their right to form a union. Organizing labor unions among fishery workers is challenging, with low unionization rates. The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) reports that this difficulty arises primarily from the fragmented structure of the fishing industry, dominated by SMEs. Additionally, in many countries, fishers traditionally do not earn fixed wages but instead share profits from catches after deducting costs, making them seem like self-employed workers. This profit-sharing culture makes union organization more complicated. Furthermore, the remote nature of fishing activities, often far from unions typically located in urban areas, adds logistical hurdles for union organizers. The situation is even more challenging for foreign fishers due to the prevalence of two-year fixed-term contracts, high mobility, and multinational crews on the same vessel, which hinders solidarity. Freedom of association is the most paramount among the five core labor standards of the ILO. While Taiwan's Labor Union Act does not Article 80-1 of the Labor Standards Act: “For the business entity that is fined for violations of the Act, the competent authority shall publicly announce the name of such business entity or its owner(s), the person(s) in charge, the date of the disposition, the violation of the provisions and the amount of the disposition, shall also order such business to make improvements within a given period; failure to make improvements shall be fined consecutively. The competent authority may determine the amount of the fine in accordance with the number of employees that the violation involves, the number of violations accumulated or the amounts to be paid according to law.” 107 136
