During the course of these meetings, representatives of the
Legal Aid Department also made themselves available to offer advice, but this was declined by the workers.
Mr. Tsui also announced that the dispute involving 400 workers
of the Kwun Tong wig factory of N. Wagman and Company Ltd. was settled
today at a meeting held in the San Po Kong Office of the Labour Relations
Service.
In this agreement, each worker will receive $320 as severance pay.
The employers will pay over the money at the Service's San Po Kong Office
on July 3.
The dispute began on June 15 when the management announced that it would cancel the workers' guaranteed monthly basic wage.
The workers protested against the ruling and a series of conciliation meetings was subsequently arranged by the Labour Relations Service of
the Labour Department.
