FURTHER ACTION.
I agree generally with your
proposals for the staffing of the Labour
Department.
2. While I appreciate that at present
trade unions in Hong Kong bear little resemblance to Unions in the United Kingdom
I feel that there would be considerable
advantage in appointing a Trade Union Adviser
now since experience elsewhere including
Malaya has shown the great value of bringing
in Trade Union Advisers at a very early stage.
The presence in Hong Kong of an experienced
Adviser(who as soon as trade union legislation
is enacted could stress the legitimate objects
of unions and the need for registration would would
I suggest be valuable in this respect as well as in minimising the danger of Unions being
utilised by Chinese political parties for
their own purposes.
3. If an officer of really wide
experience is required you may consider that
this post snould be graded second in the
Department 1.e. as Deputy Commissioner.
