Atkinson proposed a concept of ¡§flexible firm¡¨ in 1984, and distinguished workers into three parts: core workers, peripheral workers and external workers. In 1997, Handy considered that organization would be composed of core work team, temporary employees, and flexible workers in the future. Therefore, Work in the organization would be divided into two parts: core work and non-core work. Core workers are responsible for core work, and non-core work are outsourced or distributed to other contractors. Then, atypical employment rises and develops. The use of this kind of employment will become a trend, and companies can save money this way.
The purposes of this thesis are: (1) to understand the situation of atypical employment in the Bureau of National Health Insurance (the NHI); (2) to find out the reasons of unionization for temporary workers in the NHI; (3) to understand the restraints on unionization of atypical employees; (4) to provide suggestion to government and government-run companies.
According to the results of interviews and analysis, the reason that the NHI continues to employ temporary employees is to stabilize business. The NHI can continue to employ temporary employees since these temporary employees are not included into Labor Standards Law. Three reasons that temporary employees of the NHI can unionize are: (1) work time and worksites of temporary employees of the NHI are fixed; (2) insurance industries are covered by Labor Standards Law, and temporary employees of the NHI are included into Labor Standards Law; (3) organizational system of the NHI is a government-run financial and insurance organization, so it is not limited by the fourth clause of Labor Union Law.
