Legislative elections and referendums: TSU chairman says his party will fight for teachers' dignity

Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Chairman Huang Kun-huei (黃昆輝) said yesterday that his party would fight for the dignity of teachers and create a sound environment in which to educate the next generation.

Huang said a survey of elementary school teachers conducted by his party last month showed that respondents were concerned they spent too much time doing administrative work and other chores instead of teaching. He said respondents had also said they would like the government to take their opinions into consideration.

Huang, who is running for a legislator-at-large seat, said he had donated NT$100,000 to the Children Welfare League Foundation on behalf of his party.

Some overseas Taiwanese organizations yesterday also urged voters to support the TSU.

Isabel Wang (王昭鈴), deputy director of a support group based in South America for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) and his running mate, Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌), said that the TSU had played an important role last year in pressuring the legislature to pass the national budget.

Meanwhile, F.K. Tseng (曾輝光), a co-founder of the Taiwan Center Foundation of Greater Los Angeles, said voters must help the TSU grow to become the second-largest localized party.
