Tackling one's supervisor on one's own was slightly more popular among
the skilled. 38% of the skilled would do so compared to 24% among the
semi-skilled and 18% among the unskilled.
Younger men had a greater tendency to leave here rather than younger
women as one might have expected. The biggest sub group difference in tendency to leave was between unskilled (41%) and semi-skilled and
skilled (19% and 24%).
England & Rear (1975) p.70. This statement choice question (0.34)
requires modification. The phrasing "worker in trouble at work" needs
changing to some kind of trouble in general.

In fact only 5 respondents gave "don't know" replies.
16. The word "Colony" needs dropping from question 43 (ii)G as this term
had ideological implications for the members of the sample. An
alternative might be "Improve the standard of living of all workers in
Hong Kong". A further point here is that mahjong needs dropping as an
example of social and recreational activities as the interviewers
report that several respondents disapproved of this gambling game.

A number of respondents without trade union organisations at their place
of work were identified earlier on the question of job satisfaction.
However, it appeared to be the case there that it was employees from the
large firms who did not have the opportunity of joining rather than
the employees from small ones. Thus 19 respondents from the large firms
were not asked to rate their satisfaction with the performance of their
trade union by the interviewers since they stated that there was no
trade union organisation in operation at their workplace, compared to
one respondent from the small firms who did so. However, this finding
is somewhat dubious.
