The Second Floor Slave Workers
The Second Floor Slave Workers were the volunteers on the second floor of the Legislative Yuan during the duration of the occupation
The Second Floor Slave Workers (二樓奴工) was the term that volunteers on the second floor of the Legislative Yuan, who had kept watch over the only entrance in and out of the Legislative Yuan on the second floor of the assembly chambers for the duration of the occupation, used to refer to themselves. In particular, the Second Floor Slave Workers were unhappy that the mainstream leadership of the movement decided to withdraw on April 10th, feeling that they had been inadequately consulted before this decision was made despite being some of the hardest working members of the occupation, and that the process to make this decision had been lacking in transparency. Likewise, the Second Floor Slave Workers were against the idea of cleaning up the Legislative Yuan, dismantling the barriers which had been built to guard from police, and fixing the Legislative Yuan from any damage caused by the occupation, with the view that these traces of struggle should remain in the Legislative Yuan as a testament to the struggles of Taiwanese democracy.
