Lin Yi-jin from the Democratic Progressive Party called for a national unified holiday for Labor Day to be implemented next year. The appeal for a consistent May Day holiday was once again rejected as the government announced the 2025 administrative calendar, disappointing teachers and public servants alike. Lin emphasized that Labor Day symbolizes unity and solidarity, criticizing the division between 'civil servants' and 'ordinary workers' due to differences in labor insurance and public employee insurance, causing practical difficulties and absurd situations with inconsistent holidays across the country. She urged the government to explain its inconsistent response to the holiday, emphasizing the importance of implementing a unified holiday system for everyone in Taiwan.
