HARMONIOUS LABOUR AND MANAGEMENT RELATIONSHIP
Importance Stressed By Labour Offiçer
Labour and management relationships in Hong Kong are more cordial
compared to those in many other Asian countries.
This was the impression of Mr. T.F. Tsui, Senior Labour Officer
in charge of the Labour Relations Service when he recently attended a
seminar in Bangkok.
Mr. Taui was a guest speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Rotary
Club of Hong Kong Island West today.
He stressed the importance of maintaining the present atmosphere
of harmonious relationship between employers and employees.
Referring to the work of the Labour Relations Service in the
past eleven months, Mr. Tsui said: "The Service dealt with a total of
4,221 labour problems of all types and 73% of them were amicably settled.
"17,553 enquiries were received and this number reflects the
willingness of both parties to confide in and seek the advice of the
Service.
"Officers of the Service also paid 318 visits to industrial employers
and these include visits to promote joint consultation, to encourage
employers to prepare an employee handbook and to introduce a grievance procedure."
