Hotline set up for local workers seeking airport- related jobs

The Labour Department announced today (Wednesday) that a "jobs hotline" 417 6201 had been introduced to help local construction workers seek airport-related vacancies.

Senior Labour Officer in charge of the Employment Services Division Mr Raymond Chan said the Local Employment Service (LES) of the Department has been actively providing employment assistance to local construction workers looking for jobs in the new airport and related projects.

"To protect the interests of local construction workers, contractors applying for imported workers under the Special Labour Importation Scheme are required to register their vacancies with the LES," he said.

As a standing practice, information on job vacancies will be displayed in a special section in all nine LES offices throughout the territory. The LES will also send the information to 20 construction workers' unions and two seamen's unions, inviting their members to make use of the placement service.
