UNDERSTANDING OF LABOUR LAW CAN PREVENT DISPUTES
*****
MANY UNNECESSARY DISPUTES CAN BE AVOIDED IF BOTH EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF LABOUR LEGISLATION AND REALISE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
THIS WAS STATED BY THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR, MR RON BRIDGE, THIS (SATURDAY) MORNING WHEN HE OFFICIATED AT THE OPENING OF A MINI EXHIBITION ON LABOUR LEGISLATION IN THE CITYPLAZA OF TAIKOO SHING.
ORGANISED BY THE LABOUR RELATIONS PROMOTION UNIT OF THE LABOUR RELATIONS DIVISION, THE EXHIBITION WILL LAST THREE DAYS, FEATURING MAINLY PHOTOGRAPHS AND GRAPHICS.
MR BRIDGE POINTED OUT THAT THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT ATTACHED MUCH IMPORTANCE TO PROMOTING HARMONIOUS LABOUR RELATIONS.
+AS LONG AS EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES POSSESS CONCEPTS OF MUTUAL RELIANCE AND MUTUAL EXISTENCE, I BELIEVE EVERY ESTABLISHMENT WILL BE ABLE TO SEE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, HE NOTED.
MR BRIDGE EXPLAINED THAT EACH YEAR THE DEPARTMENT ORGANISED TALKS OR SEMINARS ON LABOUR RELATIONS AND LABOUR LEGISLATION, BUT BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS ON VENUES, ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE COULD BENEFIT FROM THESE FUNCTIONS.
+THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE STAGED A MOBİLE EXHIBITION WITH A VIEW TO INTRODUCING LABOUR LEGISLATION TO MORE PEOPLE. AFTER TAIKOO SHING, THE EXHIBITION WILL BE RE-STAGED IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS OF WONG TAI SIN, KWUN TONG AND TSUEN WAN,+ HE ADDED.
OFFICIATING AT THE OPENING WITH MR BRIDGE WERE THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONER (EASTERN), MR H.T. LUI, AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING COMMITTEE (EASTERN), MRS ANITA CHAN LAI-LING.
