position in Hong Kong regarding negotiations on wages
and conditions of employment. Setting aside question
of "formal recognition", are there e examples of
employers who in practice and without such formal
recognition, are prepared to discuss wages with a
representative union? Is this what is meant by
"working arrangements" in para 2 of tel. No. 428?
In period 1965-68 there are several cases recorded
Munal Munal Departmental Reports which
in App. V of the
ANNUAL
Vara
appear to fall into this category. Here
