A veteran labor rights activist, Lai Hsiang-ling (賴香伶) has participated in various union strikes since the 1990s. In 2014, she was elected to head Taipei's Department of Labor. Compared to the department of labor commissioners in other cities, Lai appears to be extremely progressive and energetic. Some have even jokingly praised her as "the only department of labor commissioner in all of Taiwan."
In 2019, after Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je established his Taiwan People's Party (TPP), Lai was named as TPP's top party list candidate for the upcoming elections. Aside from improving Taiwan's labor conditions, what else does Lai want to accomplish in the legislature?
