Experienced Officials Promoted in Significant Department Restructuring

The Taiwan Ministry of Labor has announced a significant personnel reshuffle, marking one of the largest internal reorganizations in recent years. Several key appointments have been made across various departments, signaling a shift in leadership and strategic focus.

The most notable changes include the move of the former Director-General of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 鄒子廉 (Zou Zi-lian), to the position of Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Labor. 林毓堂 (Lin Yu-tang), previously the Deputy Director-General of OSHA, will now serve as the Director-General, stepping into the role previously held by 鄒子廉 (Zou Zi-lian).

He specifically acknowledged 鄒子廉 (Zou Zi-lian), 林毓堂 (Lin Yu-tang), 黃齡玉 (Huang Ling-yu), and 沈文麗 (Shen Wen-li) as highly qualified civil servants.
