Seamen urge to add more labour
(02-14 15:30)
The Hong Kong Seamen's Union has joined hands with the Legislative Council's Labour representative, Tang Ka-piu, to urge the government to do more to tackle the shortage of local manpower in Hong Kong's shipping industry.
In the Chief Executive's policy address, shipping was highlighted as a development industry -- and Tang -- from the Federation of Trade Unions - said this should include promoting the use of local talent, RTHK reports.
Tang said they had also raised concerns about labour rights for local mariners. He said China had already signed up to an international convention protecting seamen's rights, and Hong Kong should do the same.
