The LES has been actively helping local construction workers to find jobs in the new airport and related projects. As a standing practice, information on job vacancies provided by contractors applying for imported workers will be displayed in all nine LES offices throughout the territory.
The vacancy information will also be sent to more than 20 relevant trade unions for dissemination to their members.
"To make sure that local workers are given priority in filling the vacancies, our officers will advise contractors to relax employment requirements if they are found to be restrictive.
"Contractors may suffer if they refuse to relax restrictive requirements because they will not be able to recruit sufficient local workers on the one hand and their applications for imported workers may be rejected on the other. Applications from employers found to have no sincerity in employing local workers will also be rejected," Mr Chan said.
