托兒所種族歧視，美籍華人勝訴！ 

STAFF WRITER, WITH CNA  中央社專職編譯

A kindergarten was fined NT$300,000(US$10,300) on Thursday by the New Taipei City Labor Affairs Department for discriminating against a Chinese-American jobseeker.

新北市政府勞工局星期四針對一件歧視正在求職的美籍華人案件，對一家托兒所開出新臺幣30萬（美金1萬3千元）的罰款。

The fine was imposed following a complaint filed by a certified teacher surnamed Chang, who said the school had rejected him because of his ethnicity as it preferred to hire a less-qualified white applicant.

此申訴案件是由一位領有教師執照的張姓教師所提出。張姓老師指出托兒所拒絕他，並寧願去雇用品質較為不好白人求職者，只因為他具有華人的血統。

Chang said when he called the kindergarten to inquire about the job, he was asked to come in for an interview, but when the school learned he was ethnic Chinese and not white, he was immediately turned down.

當他打電話到托兒所詢問工作時，他被通知前去面試。但當對方知道他是位華人，而不是白人時。他馬上被拒絕了，張姓教師表示。

It was not the first time he had experienced such discrimination, even though he is a native English speaker and a certified teacher, he said.

張姓教師又指出，這已經不是他第一次遇到這類歧視的狀況了，即使他是一位有純正美語發音且領有教師執照的華人。

After recording his telephone conversation with the employer at the kindergarten, he filed a complaint with Labor Affairs Department, he said.

錄完與托兒所在電話上的對話之後，張姓教師隨即向勞工局提出申訴。

The New Taipei City Employment Discrimination Committee investigated his case and found that he the employer had acted with bias. The school was fined NT$300,000, the minimum penalty for violating labor laws against discrimination.

接獲申訴的新北市政府就業歧視委員會，介入調查張姓教師的案件並發現托兒所雇主有歧視求職者的事實。托兒所院方因歧視求職者依違反勞基法處以新臺幣30萬的罰款。

Fines for discrimination in the workplace can range from NT$300,000 to NT$1.5 million.

歧視求職者，雇員的罰款最低可處罰新臺幣30萬至新臺幣150萬不等罰款。

Labor officials said that Article 46 of the Employment Services Act states it is illegal for kindergartens to hire foreign staff, but may do so if the applicant fits the conditions outlined in Article 48 and Article 51.

勞工局指出依假如求職者符合照就業服務法(Employment Services Act)第48條與第51條之說明的狀況。該托兒所即違反了業服務法第46條規定—違法顧用外籍員工。

These conditions include permanent residency in Taiwan, marriage to Taiwanese spouse, having lineal relatives with a registered residence or refugee status, the officials said.

勞工局表示如果求職者的身份，如在台灣擁有永久居留權、配偶為臺灣籍、有可證明的在臺之直系血親親屬或因戰亂被迫來臺者皆符合就業服務法中第48條與第51條的說明。

Since Chang had lineal relatives living in the country, it is not illegal for him to work as an English teacher in a kindergarten, they said.

勞工局最後表示張姓教師因在臺灣有直系血親親屬，因此在托兒所從是英文教師的工作並不違法。
