Criticizing savage exploitation during the period.


According to the Hongkong Wen Wei Po report, the minimum wage system in Hongkong was officially implemented in May, and employers' exploitative tricks emerged one after another.

Chen Wanxian, vice president of the Federation of trade unions, said that employees who were engaged in the manufacturing industry complained to her recently that their employers demanded to deduct the daily salary of toilet for half an hour. She denounced the unreasonable exploitation of the employer and was angry. He called for the whole society to be severely condemned, otherwise it would be a disgrace to Hongkong's old board.


Chen Wanxian told reporters yesterday that he had recently received complaints from employees of a manufacturing public organization that the company asked for half an hour of work every day, excluding wages, to compensate employees for toilet time. "I go to dinner once a day and go to another two times a day, and I really can't support him."


She questioned that in the free economy of Hongkong, many employees were slaves like employers exploited for a long time.

It has become "heaven and earth" and "even sneeze is punished". Originally thought that the minimum wage was implemented, the wage earners began to have bargaining power, "back stiffer", and she asked the employee for a company phone call to follow up. The other party looked gloomy and did not want Zhang Yang's incident.


Chen Wanxian stressed that in addition to working hard to raise the "low price" of labour force, the labour sector will strive for the 44 hour standard working hours per week to the SAR government.


Lu Songxiong, director of the union rights and interests of the Hongkong Federation of trade unions, also said that in the past 10 years, under the oppression of "strong capital and weak labor" in Hongkong, the trade union will not only promote policies, but also strengthen the awareness of the rights and interests of employees. "I talk about the minimum wage in lectures, and some people worry that the seats will be left behind, and the company will no longer be engaged."


Li Zhuoren, a Legislative Council member of the Hongkong Union for trade unions, criticized that employers had set off by selling various kinds of ways such as "clock" and "daily rest".
