關廠工人絕食行動進入第二天，勞委會仍然沒有出面回應全關連三點訴求，截至晚間8：28為止，絕食活動已進入第30小時。
今上午，全關連按原訂計畫召開記者會，批評目前企業主未依勞退新制提撥勞工退休金爛帳高達18.3億元，若以月薪三萬、積欠6個月計算，全國受害勞工超過1萬多人。全關連重申，為避免類似關廠欠薪糾紛再度發生，勞委會推動勞基法第28條修法，將退休金、資遣費納入工資墊償基金保障範圍。
勞委會則再度以新聞稿隔空回應全關連訴求，強調勞退新制開辦以來，已提繳之退休金達9,165億餘元，收繳率高達99.75%，勞工權益已獲得充分保障。勞保局指出，目前雖有近20億元催收款項，但這是因為勞退金採事後收繳方式，才導致虛計退休金，勞保局將繼續加強催欠作業。
目前絕食成員多半精神狀況還不錯，但沈秋華雙手不知何故嚴重浮腫，陳滿屏、黃德北也因睡眠狀況不佳而略顯疲態。
另，經常聲援各類社會運動的殷必雄也正式加入無限期絕食行動。他說，昨天到場聲援時，本來只打算絕食一天，但因為「實在看不下去」，所以臨時起意加入無限期絕食行列。目前他疑似因血糖過低，精神狀況不佳。

Ambassador Tony Hall, executive director of the Alliance to End Hunger recently traveled to the world’s largest refugee camp, Dadaab, on the Kenya-Somalia border. The Horn of Africa is experiencing the region’s worst drought in sixty years and more than 450,000 have trekked for days and weeks across the desert seeking food, water, shelter, and safety in Dabaab.

全關連工人絕食行動在今晚突破125小時，勞委會除了持續發新聞稿隔空喊話，呼籲工人停止「過激陳情方式」外，勞委會主委潘世偉仍然不願出面協商對話絕食者因此發起「協尋潘世偉」活動，持續呼籲對話。
今天有三位絕食者脫隊，分別是黃德北、殷必雄、林廷泉。黃德北本來打算一邊絕食一邊參加研討會，但決策小組覺得不妥，因此讓他終止絕食。殷必雄在上午七點前往廁所途中昏倒送醫，心跳數一度高達每分鐘160下，所幸最後並無大礙，下午時已回家靜養。林廷泉已高齡78歲，考量到他的健康因素，醫療小組在晚間將他送醫，強制停止絕食。
另，絕食者毛振飛今天前往台北地方法院聽取法院宣判，法院認為，他必須因去年10/28「讓雞蛋飛」蛋洗總統府行動負責，判拘役20天，但毛振飛打算繼續上訴。毛振飛過去曾數度表示，如果政府要關他，他一毛錢也不打算給政府（易科罰金），寧願讓它關。
勞委會則在今天上午發表新聞稿，表示：「勞委會除對於可能造成勞工身體健康之危害，深感感憂心外，也誠摯希望勞工能瞭解該會將盡最大的努力，排除各種困難，只為尋求最佳的解決方案；所以，勞委會籲請勞工以身體健康為重，儘快結束此一激烈的訴求方式。另基於人道考量，勞委會在辦公時間內，將秉持尊重及照扶勞工之立場，提供陳情民眾必要之協助，該會並已成立專責小組，隨時關注勞工情形，如勞工有身體有不適之情形，將立即聯繫醫療院所，提供必要之照護。」
目前仍有7名工人持續絕食，除了無奈退出的黃德北、昏倒的殷必雄、被迫送醫的林廷泉外，其他7名絕食者的健康狀態看似與昨天沒有太大差異，仍然顯得非常疲倦，從肌膚狀況也可看出每個人都處於脫水狀態。
絕食最可怕的問題在於，這不是一種很明顯的自殘行為，每個人即便看來與平常沒有太大變化，但即便在下一秒倒下也不叫人意外。看似平常，實則已經受到很大的傷害。

When I see this little bird on the ground I felt like it's so easy to lose a life. I saw many people around me, but no one was worried about it. So I decide to take a picture and a little child was very surprised about it, and he doesn't realized that this bird was dead, and he starting to clap has hand to wake up this little bird. But I think there was nothing to do.
