LABOUR DISPUTE SETTLED
With the help of the Labour Department, an amicable settlement
has been reached in a labour dispute in the Nan Fung Woollen Mills
Limited in Kwai Chung.
The dispute arose from the cessation of operation of the company
which employed some 190 workers.
An agreement was reached by direct negotiation between the
management and workers on May 31, 1972.
Under this agreement, the workers have received a total sum
of more than $155,000 including wages in lieu of notice, year end bonus
and long service bonus.
Officers of the Labour Relations Service (Tsuen Wan) had paid
five visits to the establishment and had offered advice to both parties
throughout their direct negotiation.
