LABOUR DISPUTE SETTLED
Wednesday, June 21, 1972
One-hundred-and-thirty workers of the Elling Engineering Company
Limited have received $170,000 in outstanding wages with the help of the
Labour Relations Service.
The dispute was effectively resolved because the workers made an
early report to the Labour Department when the management of the shipyard
company was unable to pay wages for the month of May.
A joint meeting was held in the Labour Relations Service (Hong Kong)
and a visit was made by an officer to the shipyard resulting in the settlement.
RE-ROUTING OF THOMSON ROAD
The Transport Department announced today that with effect from
10 a., on Friday (June 23), the section of Thomson Road between Fleming
Road and Johnston Road, Wan Chai will be re-routed one-way from west to east.
The re-routing has been made in connection with the installation of
a new set of traffic lights in the vicinity.
Appropriate traffic signs will be set up to guide motorists.
