Election of Labour Advisory Board employee representatives

Seven candidates nominated by registered employee unions will be competing for five employee representative seats in the Labour Advisory Board (LAB) on Saturday (December 3).

Successful candidates will be appointed to the board for a term of two years starting from January next year.

A Labour Department spokesman said today (Thursday) that 263 employee unions had registered as electors in the LAB election to be held at the Haking Wong Technical Institute in Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon.

"Authorised union representatives are required to arrive at the institute before. 2.30 pm on the election day," he said.

"They must produce their Hong Kong identity cards for inspection before being admitted to the election hall," he added.

Representatives of the Secretary for Education and Manpower and Registrar of Trade Unions will be present to supervise the counting of votes. Acting Assistant Commissioner for Labour, Mr Yeung Chi- kin, will act as the Returning Officer.
