ANOTHER RECRUITING CAMPAIGN FOR STREET CLEANERS
Another campaign to recruit more labourers to keep Hong Kong's streeta
clean, in response to the "Clean Hong Kong" campaign, is to be launched by
the Urban Services Department.
The first recruiting drive was held just over a week ago when 210
applicants turned up.
The new one will begin on September 20 and a temporary office will
again operate in Kowloon Park to receive applications for the posts of labourer
from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
With a 10 per cent pay increase last month and a $45 "dirty work"
allowance from next month, the job now pays $555 a month, plus cost of living
allowances. Fringe benefits include free medical services, free uniforms,
and free hostel accommodation for single workers.
About 700 vacancies for labourers exist in the Urban Services Department,
including 400 in the Cleansing Division. Able-bodied men not over 45 years of
age are welcome to apply for the job, the spokesman added.
