TOWEL WEAVERS COME TO AGREEMENT WITH MANAGEMENT
The dispute at the Hang Tai Cotton Weaving Factory over the question
of sickness allowance and statutory holiday pay has been settled.
Representatives of some 80 towel weavers at the factory held a second
meeting with the management at the Tsuen Wan office of the Labour Relations
Service on March 10.
An agreement was reached allowing workers a sickness allowance, an
agreed rate of statutory holiday pay and maternity leave.
The workers had earlier stopped work for five days in support of
their requests but they accepted the advice of the Labour Department to resume
work pending conciliation meetings.
