UNIONIZED? The company said it has a deal with the Taxi Driver Labor Union of the ROC, but a government official said it would maintain a crackdown on illegal servicesBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterUber Taiwan yesterday announced plans to launch a new service called UberTAXI next month by working with local taxi operators.However, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications said the company would remain an illegal service provider and would be ordered to cease operations if it continues to hire drivers who do not hold a license to operate commercial vehicles.Uber Taiwan made the seemingly conciliatory move after amendments to the Highway Act (公路法) took effect earlier this month, raising the maximum fine for illegal taxi operators to NT$25 million (US$790,564).Uber said that the service is a partnership with the Taxi Driver Labor Union of the Republic of China, adding that it would initially be offered in the Greater Taipei area.People could call a cab by using the Uber app and would be charged based on standard rates set by taxis operating in Taipei, Uber said.Despite its partnership with the union, the company said it has no intention to drop its UberX, UberBlack and UberAssist services, which use non-licensed drivers.“The introduction of UberTAXI shows that a sharing economy and taxis can coexist in Taiwan’s healthy, vibrant and diversified market, which benefits both drivers and passengers,” Uber Taiwan general manager Ku Li-kai (顧立楷) said. “The partnership [with the union] demonstrates Uber’s commitment to the Taiwanese market. We will continue our negotiations with government agencies and hope that the government would draft appropriate laws to regulate ride-sharing services.”Union chairman Lin Sheng-he (林聖河) said that it is looking forward to its partnership with Uber Taiwan, as the technology developed by the company can help cab drivers find more passengers and increase their income.Passengers will have another safe, reliable and quality service option, he said.Lin said that 60 to 70 percent of union members said in a survey that they were willing to be Uber drivers if there is another platform out there that matches the service requests with the taxi drivers.However, the partnership would cease if the company continues to dispatch illegal taxi drivers, he said.Taipei City Professional Drivers’ Union president Cheng Li-chia (鄭力嘉) said that Lin made a unilateral decision to work with Uber without consulting other groups.Department of Railways and Highways specialist Hu Ti-chi (胡迪琦) said that the ministry is not yet clear about the details of the partnership, but it is glad to see that Uber has decided to work with taxi operators.However, Hu added: “Even if part of Uber’s operation is legal now, we will continue cracking down on its illegal services. That is, if it continues hiring drivers who do not have a valid taxi driver’s license.”Uber will have to apply to become a legal transport service provider if it dispatches taxi drivers and charges passengers for the service, she added.Uber would not have any legal issue if it simply serves as a non-profit platform that matches taxi drivers with passengers requesting cab services, she said.However, it becomes a legal issue if Uber pays and dispatches drivers to offer services, because it is not a registered transport service operator, she said.Statistics from the Directorate General of Highways showed that as of Friday last week, Uber has been fined a total of NT$96.49 million: NT$73.25 million for the company and NT$23.24 million for its drivers.新聞來源:TAIPEI TIMES

記者張克銘/綜合報導

川波繞了一圈,最終還是選擇重回金鶯懷抱,根據外媒報導,川波(Mark Trumbo)已經同意金鶯開出的3年3750萬美元的合約,確定重返巴爾的摩,也讓金鶯整體打線歸位。

川波上季出賽159場,打擊三圍.256/.316/.533,其中47發全壘打和108分打點成人美語補習班皆寫下生涯新高,不過自己陷入開價過高的局面,在許多球隊無意願的情況下,川波最終只好降價求售。

金鶯曾在去年12月中向川波提出報價,據了解,價碼大約落在7000萬至7500萬美元之間,儘管金鶯深信自己開出市場最棒的價碼,但顯然無法打動川波陣營,甚至與川波的要求有一大段差距。

川波拒絕合格報價,更讓想簽下他的球隊卻步,因為簽下他的球隊必須損失選秀權,而原球隊將能得到選秀補償,特別是新版勞資協議上路後,在金鶯高層眼中,比起簽回川波,似乎得到選秀補償的價值更高。

原本有意願的響尾蛇、水手、洛磯、運動家、遊騎兵,最終都沒能簽下川波,反倒是金鶯堅持到最後,並逼川波降價,順利補強球隊整體打線。

(中央社紐約18日綜合外電報導)美國搖滾超級樂團「音魔合唱團」(Audioslave)今天宣布將舉行10多年來的第1場演唱會,以抗議川普就職。 音魔合唱團20日將在洛杉磯參與「反就職舞會」(Anti-Inaugural Ball),前「聲音花園」(Soundgarden)主唱克里斯康奈爾(Chris Cornell)和前「討伐體制樂團」(Rage Against the Machine)吉他手湯姆莫瑞洛(Tom Morello)及其他成員屆時都將登台演唱。 這場演唱會將由「狂暴先知」(Prophets Of Rage)開場,這個較新的超級樂團由湯姆莫瑞洛、「全民公敵組合」(Public Enemy)饒舌歌手Chuck D和「墓園三人組」(Cypress Hills)成員B-Real組成。 此外,參與演出的藝人還有民謠搖滾歌手傑克遜布朗(Jackson Browne)、好萊塢演員兼歌手傑克布萊克(Jack Black)和饒舌歌手維克曼莎(Vic Mensa)。這場透過串流直播的演唱會將為1個對抗性侵的組織籌募經費。 克里斯康奈爾是西雅圖垃圾搖滾樂時代極負盛名的歌手和吉他手之一。 儘管音魔合唱團將參與這場示威演唱會,不過這個樂團並不像左派討伐體制樂團擁有強烈的政治意識。 音魔合唱團最後一次演出是在2005年,隔年推出第3張專輯後,克里斯康奈爾便以個人差異為由宣布退團。(譯者:中央社劉文瑜)1060119
