Following on from allegations of violations of freedom of association, including the alleged dismissal of migrant union leaders by the Taiwanese medical device manufacturer TaiDoc Technology in February 2026, later reporting by Nikkei Asia outlined further abuses in April and June. In April, according to the media outlet, TaiDoc "launched multiple defamation and ... lawsuits against seven union leaders and labor organizers, with the company seeking damages of up to 10 million New Taiwan dollars" (USD310,000). The union leader describes this as an attack on the union. In June, the Filipino union leader employed at the manufacturer received medical treatment for stress as a result of ‘constant’ harassment she allegedly faced from the company. She is the union president of TTLU, and was previously dismissed by the company before being reinstated. In July, the union IndustriAll reported further details of abuse, including forcing women to stay in company hotels and subjecting them to curfews. The reporting also details further allegations of labour rights abuse by the company, including forced labour and recruitment fee charges and charges for workers seeking to renew their contracts. "Many" union members have allegedly been told their contracts will not be renewed once they expire. Workers also allege intimidation, including a worker who was punished by being told to do 420 hours of unpaid overtime for staying at a hotel after work hours. Strict management policies include regulations against owning more than three pairs of shoes, marriage, pregnancy, love affairs and bringing relatives to Taiwan. Workers do say that dormitory and fee regulations have "relaxed" this year.
