From today's Taipei Times:
…an overworked 29-year-old production line worker was recently indicted by prosecutors for drafting a false death certificate for his mother as an excuse to take time off.
The worker, surnamed Chang (張), allegedly submitted the document to request a five-day absence after an extended period of regularly working overtime.
Now, this would all be a source of comic fun (a la George Costanza)…if he wasn't being pursued by the long arm of the law.
Since he is, I make but one observation: Prosecutors' zeal for the law is clearly on display when they go after a single 29-year-old document forger who's been overworked beyond endurance.
Where though, is their enthusiasm for prosecuting companies which egregiously violate Taiwanese labor laws?
