關廠工人絕食行動進入第八天，目前仍有6人仍在勞委會前絕食，其中3名從4/28就開始絕食，已經絕食滿173小時。勞委會方面至今仍無代表與絕食者協商，僅派出就業工作站人員直接到工人家裡說明日前出爐的「七八九折扣方案」。
另，勞委會主委潘世偉今天接受廣播媒體採訪時表示，勞委會前已無人絕食，並有30名關廠工人同意接受勞委會所提出的「打折」方案，當中包括2名自救會理事長。據了解，這兩名接受勞委會方案的自救會成員，分別隸屬於聯福、耀元自救會。
此外，潘世偉在廣播中亦表示，勞委會的立場是不要以訴訟，而是以和解方式讓爭議圓滿落幕，他希望抗爭勞工仔細考慮勞委會方案。
全關連今下午發表新聞稿痛批，潘世偉「顯然在漫長的8天裡，正眼都沒瞧過關廠工人一眼，根本不把人命放在心上，才會表示絕食已經停止」。
全關連指出，勞委會對外宣稱「不要訴訟要和解」，但事實證明，日前勞委會在停告期未滿前就恢復訴訟，根本沒有誠意與工人和解。
明天上午潘世偉將到立法院衛環委員會備詢，全關連絕食者也將到立法院召開記者會，持續要求潘世偉出面協商，並承諾推動修改勞基法第28條，擴大薪資墊償適用範圍。
今日退出絕食行列者包括絕食滿168小時的東菱電子女工簡素卿、北市產總總幹事袁孔琪，以及南藝大音樂會副教授阮馨儀。簡素卿因嚴重脫水導致體重下降7公斤，經醫療小組要求停止絕食。袁孔琪因家庭因素退出，阮馨儀則因病退出。
目前仍在勞委會前的絕食者包括（左起）國際勞工協會研究員吳永毅、非典勞動工作坊林子文、東菱電子女工陳滿屏、前桃產總理事長毛振飛。另外，昨天才加入絕食，不在圖中者為聯福女工簡玉娥、文大法律系學生李昀岳。（註：圖左四為簡素卿，拍攝時她仍在絕食所以仍將照片放上。）

Something spotted on the streets of London!
It's my daughter's Birthday this weekend, so it's off to Bristol for a bit of retail therapy and noodles for lunch!
One of the busiest weeks in a long time, so Alison Moyet in concert on Saturday, Paloma Faith in concert on Tuesday complete with a 42 piece orchestra/jazz band and finally saw the Vienna Festival Ballet perform Swan Lake on Thursday. Great fun, exhausting, but worth it! Will catch up with everyone as soon as I can....

Bucharest | January 12, 2014
22nd day of hunger strike. People gathered in support of Alexandru Popescu (45yo) who ended the hunger strike after he spent 22 days and nights in central Bucharest, sleeping in a sleeping bag, as he was not allowed to put up a tent in order to take cover from the cold weather. He was protesting against the establishment of the "special area of public safety" in Pungesti, Romania, where locals and activists were protesting against shale gas fracking in their village. Alexandru Popescu was also protesting against the abuse of the riot police deployed in the area. He was also against the gold mining project from Rosia Montana.
Two other protesters are still in hunger strike: George Poepscu started the strike on the 4th of January and Crina Veres on January 11.
The night shots are from the National Romanian Television (TVR) headquarters where the supporters of the strikers were asking for a TV crew to take an interview of the strikers. The TVR never interviewed Alexandru Popescu in the 22 days of hunger strike.
