Hopefully, try to explore the influence on central Taiwan. The data the thesis adopts are in two parts: the past reference data, and the recorded visiting data. The first part is focused on the theoretical analysis of the influence on central Taiwan. The rest includes talks with union leaders: topics on trade union organizations, political and economic change, and the united labor development in central to explore the possible tendency in the social change.. 　　Before 1984, Taiwan society delineated by democratic movement period can be divided into two periods: the first is early democratic period which emphasizes order” and the later period which emphasizes “stability”. It is caused by a compulsory integration or superior dominating power over the people’s the opinion expression , In the past, the union operation could keep an long-standing peace and stability was because of the execution of the Martial Law. 　　The KMT established a protective control mechanism that originally had the view of 「keeping stability, propelling the economic development」, not only strengthened the unequal relation between labor and management, but also let the convergence of workers collective sense and “union’s independent operation“2 be tortured severely. 　　In the years 86 to 94, in the wake of ” the lift of the Martial Law”3 and the political democratization, united labor movements were prosperous, as had tremendous influences on Taiwan’s future society, politics, and economic development. Covered by the global economic recession, the united labor movement in Taiwan has suffered an unprecedented setback. In analyzing the relationship between the labor movement and political, economic ideological factors as well as the historical background, “social mutation “4and internal dilemma, also because of the existing special social condition, the thesis is focused on the labor movement issues therein. 　　The lift of the Martial Law is no doubt the biggest social and political innovation in Taiwan, as incurred the social change. This change has caused more impact in central Taiwan labor-management relationship. That is, labor’s nature, business corporation and labor-management dispute will accordingly be changed. The governmental labor policy was forced to change from “authoritative control” to “democratic agreement”. Meanwhile, trade union leaders hoped the government to present more policy security. On the other hand, because of the deepening of social democracy, laborers asked the government to decrease control. By virtue of the retrospection of domestic and international labor union development, it gives us a possibility to find out a feasible way to improve the union development. The goal the government and both labor and management pursued is to have a harmonious labor-management relationship. 　　By way of the inchoation of independent trade unions, the horizontal alliance among unions will certainly increase. Among others, the union leaders should have a deep recognition about social democracy and its practice then commit to promote the quality of union leaders. In addition, there should be internal retrospection and improvement so as to guarantee the success of trade union confederation. It is still necessary for laborers to study theories and to struggle in getting the spring of laborers and decent union culture.
