摘要

在許多國家政策參與及治理的過程中，工會往往扮演相當重要的角色，甚至成為共同決定政策的社會伙伴，在我國工會的發展中卻遭遇許多的阻礙，諸如法令的限制、政治的影響、勞動意識不足等，使得工會在集體勞資關係中無法發揮應有的角色，遑論工會能在參與政策及治理的過程中發揮其影響力。同時政府對於開放決策場域讓工會參與決策仍有很大疑慮，制度上提供讓工會參與的案例不多，國內也缺乏相關的研究，故這領域的研究仍有待填補。
本研究藉由治理理論的探討，以及訪談資料的蒐集，綜合分析後之結果顯示，工會具有參與政策及治理過程的利基與劣勢。工會藉由勞工集體聲音的表達，最容易獲得勞工政策參與的機會，若政府能適當地給予工會參與政策及治理的管道及協助，加上工會自我能力的提升，工會在許多層面確實能成為政府政策的諮商者、資訊提供者，乃至共同治理的社會伙伴。

Trade unions play vital role in government policy participation in many countries. In some advanced economies, the trade union movement even shares policy governance with the employers and government and being called as social partners. In Taiwan, the trade unions’ role in policy participation and governance has been retarded as a result of legal and political factors. Consequently trade unions’ function in the public policy participation and governance is limited. In addition, trade unions’ opportunities to participate public policy and acted as partner in policy governance is also reduced. Therefore trade unions cannot play effective role in social dialogue, not to even mention monitoring the outcome of the public policy. In Taiwan, domestic researchers have generally focused on the study of the role of trade unions in collective labor relations, trade unions’ policy participation and governance has been ignored without careful exploration. It is the purpose of this study to uncover such an issue to supplement the gap of contemporary public policy research.

This study shows that even legal and political factors have been subsequently restricted trade unions capability to participate and govern public policy in Taiwan; it is still possible for trade unions to participate and share governance in public policy. According to our theory analysis and data collected from intensive interviews, this study finds that trade unions are likely to obtain opportunities to participate and govern public policy if trade unions are able to express their collective voices. It is also suggested that trade unions are also possible to be invited as government advisors, information providers, and even as social partners with other social groups, given that appropriate channels and assistance provided by the government.
