Chen, Hsin-Hsing (Author)
After years of difficult campaign and litigation, former RCA workers in Taiwan started to win their lawsuit against the company and its foreign parent companies for the death, disease, and mental distress caused by workplace exposure to toxic chemicals. From the 2015 District Court judgment to the 2022 Supreme Court judgment, the plaintiffs won every legal principle they had set out to contest since they first organized in 1998, especially those regarding how the court of law uses scientific evidence. STSers in Taiwan had been intensively working with the plaintiffs, lawyers, organizers, and other volunteers in this, the most science-intensive lawsuit in Taiwan’s legal history. A broad and sustained coalition of volunteers in support of the RCA workers not only succeeded in the lawsuit but also created multiple outreaches, from STS scholarships to TV programs. This field report recounts the experience of the Taiwan STS community in its adoption of the RCA case as a community affair and its connecting with various actors in the process.
