MORE REPRESENTATION FOR WORKERS
1.
On the one hand, I must emphasise that Appointments
to the Executive and Legislative/Councils are made on
2
a personal basis, rather than on the basis of repre-
sentation. On the other hand, Hong Kong is run through
a complex pattern of statutory boards, Councils and
Committees, and on those which are concerned with
Industrial Employees (eg Labour Advisory Board,
Industrial Training Advisory Committee, Hong Kong Pro-
ductivity Council) workers sit both as individuals
and trade union representatives.
APPOINTMENT OF MRS ELSIE ELLIOTT AS A "WORKERS"
REPRESENTI & 20
3.
I am aware of the movement in Hong Kong seeking
Mrs Elliott's nomination. Appointments to the Legis-
lative Cougoil are however made on a personal basis.
In any case, Mrs Elliott can hardly be said to be a
representative of the workers. She is believe the
supervisor and/or manager of 7 local schools.
TRADE UNION REPRESENTATION
4.
Despite past efforts industrial workers in Hong
Kong have never been organised on a general trade union
basis as here.
