浸大更換清潔承辦商 7日前始通知 部份月薪僅加0.32元
Baptist University’s contract with its outsourced cleaning contractor, Wai Hong Environmental Services Company Limited, expires today. The university will replace it with a new contractor, Johnson Holdings Limited, effective tomorrow. The transition has caused controversy: incumbent cleaners only attended a briefing arranged by Johnson a week ago. Johnson’s proposed monthly salary for day-shift workers is $13,899, just $0.32 more than before, while some workers will see their wages reduced. Joe Wong, chairperson of the Cleaning Services Employees’ Union, went to Johnson’s head office this morning to submit a joint letter signed by 105 workers, calling for improved pay and employment benefits.
The handover process has been rushed, but the company is believed to be a conscientious business.
Johnson has still not signed new contracts with all of the approximately 200 workers. The Cleaning Services Employees’ Union submitted the joint letter signed by 105 Baptist University workers to Johnson’s head office this morning, urging the company to arrange the handover as soon as possible.
浸會大學與外判清潔承辦商「惠康環境服務有限公司」的合約今日到期，校方將更換新外判商「莊臣控股有限公司」，明日生效。不過今次過渡安排引起風波，現職清潔工在一星期前才獲莊臣安排簡介會，莊臣開出的合約日更月薪為$13,899，加幅僅較原先多出$0.32，部分工人工資更有下跌。清潔服務業職工會主席黃迺元今早前往莊臣辦公室總部，遞交105名工人聯署信，要求改善員工薪酬待遇。
交接過程倉促 惟信是良心企業
現時，莊臣仍未與全體約200名工友簽署新合約。清潔服務業職工會今早將105名浸大工友的聯署，遞交予莊臣公司辦公室總部，促請盡快進行交接安排。

修職工會例｜基於國安可拒登記 限收「境外勢力」資金 擴執法權
The Government has proposed amendments to the Trade Unions Ordinance to empower the Registrar of Trade Unions to restrict trade union registration on national security grounds, prohibit trade unions from receiving or using funds from “external forces”, and prohibit them from becoming members of “overseas political organisations”. The amendments would also expand enforcement powers to include entering premises, making inquiries and seizing evidence. The authorities said the amendments aim to strengthen regulation of trade unions, prevent them from being used for activities endangering national security, and limit the influence of external forces.
The Labour and Welfare Bureau submitted the document to the Legislative Council Panel on Manpower today (19th), and it will be discussed next Monday (24th). The bureau seeks to submit the amendment bill to the Legislative Council in April. The document states that violations will incur criminal liability but does not specify the penalties. The Labour Department said it was still discussing the matter with the Department of Justice and that no decision had yet been made. Ho Kam-piu, Deputy Commissioner for Labour (Labour Administration), stressed that the amendments “definitely will not hinder the development of trade unions” and said he was confident that the legislation could be completed during the current legislative session.
政府建議修訂《職工會條例》，賦權職工會登記局長可以國家安全為由，限制工會登記，禁工會收取及使「境外勢力」資金、成為「境外政治性組織」成員，又擴大執法權至能進入處所和查訊、檢取證據等。當局指修例旨在加強監管工會，防止工會被利用進行危害國家安全活動，限制境外勢力影響。
勞工及福利局今（19日）向立法會人力事務委員會提交文件，將於下周一（24日）討論，爭取於 4 月向立法會提交修訂條例草案。文件指違例將負刑責但未提罰則，勞工處稱仍與律政司商討暫未有定案；勞工處副處長（勞工事務行政）何錦標則強調修例「一定唔會窒礙到職工會發展」，有信心在本屆會期內完成立法。

【施政報告】工會促增最低工資至56元：40蚊買個飯盒都唔係區區買到
Chief Executive John Lee will deliver the third Policy Address of his term in October. Labour groups concerned about workers’ rights have proposed raising the statutory minimum wage to $56, saying, “It only goes up by one or two dollars a year; nowadays, you can’t even buy a lunchbox for $40 in every district.” An elderly rights organisation has also continued to urge the Hong Kong government to implement a universal retirement protection scheme and subsidise social welfare organisations to provide “day respite services” to ease carers’ burden. Cleaning Workers Union called for improvements to arrangements for rest breaks during hot weather.

工會與程展緯發起聯署 促補發工人確診及檢疫補償
A survey conducted by a group in July this year found that 65% of the workers surveyed had not received sick-leave compensation while quarantined or diagnosed, with an estimated 7,200 people affected and HK$14 million involved. The Cleaning Services Industry Workers Union and artist Luke Ching Chin Wai, who is also a grassroots worker, launched a petition calling on the authorities to follow up; it has received support from more than 1,300 people so far. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Labour Department told InMediaHK that, before the Employment Ordinance was amended, they had already urged employers to handle sick leave and compensation for employees diagnosed with COVID-19 flexibly. The Labour Department said it could provide conciliation services if disputes arose between employers and employees. Neither department responded on whether the government would bear the compensation involved.
有團體在今年七月進行調查，發現6成半受訪工友於隔離及確診期間未獲發病假補償，估算涉及7,200人，款項達1,400萬。清潔服務業職工會及本身亦為基層工人的藝術家程展緯發起聯署，要求當局跟進，至今獲超過1,300人支持。食環署及勞工處回覆《獨媒》表示，在修訂《僱傭條例》前已呼籲僱主彈性處理確診員工病假及補償，勞工處表示勞資雙方如有糾紛，處方可提供調停服務。兩個部門皆未有回應是否會由政府當局承擔涉及的賠償。

通識教師聯會通過解散
As the last cohort of students studying Liberal Studies advances to Form 6 in September, Citizenship and Social Development will replace Liberal Studies next year. The Hong Kong Liberal Studies Teachers’ Association, one of the city’s two major professional organisations for Liberal Studies teachers and established 17 years ago, held a special general meeting yesterday morning and voted to pass a motion to dissolve. Law Kit-ling, chairwoman of the association’s provisional executive committee, expects it will take three months to handle the remaining assets, which she initially hopes to donate to an education faculty or institution. A veteran Liberal Studies teacher said the dissolution was “the need of the times”.

【七一冇遊行】工會轉到荃灣擺街站 總幹事：未拉未鎖咪試吓做囉！
On July 1, the Hong Kong Property Management and Security Workers General Union set up a street booth in Tsuen Wan. Police arrived three times, recorded people’s personal particulars and said that loudspeakers could not be used. Volunteers distributed leaflets printed with “Hong Kong, our home, let’s protect her together”. Other volunteers made a sign reading “Hey, how are you getting on living in Hong Kong?”, inviting members of the public to vote for the sentence that best represented their lives in Hong Kong. “Can I swear?” ultimately won by a large margin.
七一當日，香港物業管理及保安職工總會在荃灣擺設街站，警方三度到場，登記個人資料並指不能使用揚聲器。有義工派發印有「香港，我們的家，一起守護她」的單張，亦有義工自製了「親，你係香港生活成點呀？」的紙牌，供市民投票選出最能代表其在港生活的句子，最終由「我可以講粗口嗎？」高票勝出。
