ION FEDERATION.

We understand that the British TUC has agreed to provide educational aid to a proposed new labour grouping in Hong Kong.

2. The new Trade Union Federation will represent unions independent of both Peking and Taiwan and will have affiliates whose membership total around 100,000.

ILA would be glad to see anything Hong Kong might learn about this new organisation.
