Welfare Committee

However, GC has a Welfare Committee that serves as an independent mechanism to provide employees with collective bargaining powers. The Welfare Committee responds to employee concerns regarding our work environment, offers a grievance mechanism, determines benefits, and handles complaints about unfair labor practices. All employees are eligible to nominate and become representatives to be candidates in the election of Welfare Committee.

There are a total 70 members on the Welfare Committee, each of whom serves a two-year term. 100% of our employees are covered under Welfare Committee to bargain labor and welfare aspect with company.
