The right to strike for teachers is highly contentious in countries worldwide. In Taiwan, the 3 basic labor rights of teachers, namely the right to organize, right to bargain collectively, and right to dispute, are not comprehensive. In particular, Article 54, paragraph 2, subparagraph 1 of the Act for Settlement of Labor-Management Disputes prohibit teachers from going on strike. With the change of times, the role of teachers has changed from ordination teachers, such as in Japan prior to World War II, to laborer teachers and specialized teachers. International conventions, the legal system in Taiwan, and the situation of teacher strikes in developed countries were observed in this study, which revealed that teacher strikes, although controversial, have been accepted in developed countries. From the perspectives of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to enhance the status of Taiwan regarding international human rights and improve the standard of human rights, the Act for Settlement of Labor-Management Disputes should be amended to nullify the prohibition on teacher strikes, and teachers’ right to strike should be stipulated in the Teachers’ Act. However, because teachers differ from general workers, and their strikes are related to students’ right to education, the procedures and time for teachers to perform strikes and the subsequent remedial measures should be regulated. This study suggested that teachers may call a strike to protest for their proper rights and interests when their rights or interests are infringed; however, the strikes cannot violate students’ right to education. Therefore, teacher’s basic labor right can be protected, and student’s right to education would not be influenced by teacher strikes.
