跛腳的偽自由市場：檢析台灣外勞政策的三大矛盾
作者：顧玉玲（人民火大行動聯盟成員）
摘要：
全球化的浪潮下，窮人根本沒有安全而平等的遷移自由。台灣外勞政策中壓迫移工的三大禁錮：不得自由轉換雇主、嚴格的居留期限、私人仲介制度，形成跛腳的「半自由市場」，開放聘用的「自由」是雇主的專利，「不自由」的限制只束縛移工。本論文揭露政策全面為資方服務，指出若要真正回歸自由市場，就該全面開放移工入境、無需配額管制、正常化其居留資格、回復勞工自由轉換工作的權力。否則就是一場奴化移工的騙局。

A Distorted “Semi-liberal Market of Migrant Workers” in Taiwan
Author：Yu-ling Ku (Member, Raging Citizens Act Now (RCAN) )
Abstract：
Under the waves of globalization, the poor does not have any safe, secure and fair opportunities or means to migrate freely for work. Migrant workers in Taiwan are oppressed and repressed by three critical points of control imposed by the government: no freedom to transfer, strict limitation of residence, and private agent system. This has led to the existence of a distorted “semi-liberal market of migrant workers’ in Taiwan. The employers have the prerogative and right to hire or fire migrant workers whilst the migrant workers have no freedom in deciding to whom and how they will sell their labour.
