On November 11, amidst cheers and congratulations in the government, Taiwan finally succeeded in joining the WTO, a goal it had been pursuing for 11 years. On that same day, some 2000 laborers took to the streets of Taipei for their annual "Autumn Fight" protest. The focus of this year's march was the pain of unemployment.
十一月十一日，當政府相關部門歡欣慶賀，台灣努力了十一年終於敲開世貿組織的大門時，約有二千名勞工團體代表走上台北街頭，發起「失業真恐怖」的秋鬥大遊行。
