LABOUR DISPUTE SETTLED
The dispute involving some 115 retrenched employees of the H.P.
San & Co. Ltd. has been settled.
Under an agreement reached late yesterday, all monthly-paid workers
will receive two months severance pay and 10 days retirement benefits for
each completed year of service.
The total amount involved will be in the region of $300,000. Payment
will be made on June 8.
The dispute started on May 7 when the company closed down. A series
of conciliation meetings over the question of severance pay were subsequently
held at the Hong Kong office of the Labour Relations Service of the Labour
Department.
