Meeting with Mr Clive Jenkins of A.S.T.M.S.
on 5th May, 1970
Present:
Mr Clive Jenkins, Joint General Secretary,
Association for Scientific, Technical
and Managerial Staffs.
Mr G. Foggon, Overseas Labour Adviser, F.C.O.
Mr E. O. Laird, Hong Kong Department, F.C.O.
Mr G. F. Kinnear, Hong Kong Department, F.C.O.
Mr Jenkins stated that, while previously salaries
paid to aircraft technicians in Hong Kong compared
favourably with United Kingdom rates of pay, the sit-
uation had changed over the last three years and Hong
Kong salaries were now less than those obtainable in
the United Kingdom. His Union therefore considered
that negotiations should be entered into with Hong Kong
Aircraft Engineering Co., Limited for an agreement for
higher pay for the members of his Union employed by the
Company.
Mr Jenkins explained that great care had been taken
to register/ the Hong Kong branch of A.S.T.M.S. as a
Union under the Hong Kong law and that when he visited
Hong Kong in October, 1969, he had met Mr Wakeford, the
General Manager of HAECO, who assured him that, once the
Union was registered under Hong Kong, he would be pre-
No Tonkurs
was therefore surprised to
pared to deal with it.
