19 Voting Unions Share Same Registration Address; Pro- Establishment Camp Takes Advantage of the Voting System
Blue Ribbons Mobilize
Calls were made to establish unions a few months ago, with many successfully registering before May 2, becoming voters for 2022.
Apple Daily analyzed the data of newly registered trade unions before the deadline, and found that there were more trade unions with ties to the pro-establishment than "yellow" unions. Some scholars pointed out that the number of "blue" citizens mobilized are more than that of the "yellow" camp and they need to double their efforts to resist.
Apple Daily has also found that the process involved in joining the unions were extremely vague, and the registered address of a few Unions were tagged to the address of a dormitory of the disciplinary forces, a place which is well-known to be extremely tough for ordinary citizens to visit.
It is understood that a new trade union called the "Celebrity Workers' Association" was founded by Jacky Ko Chung Kit, who was famously featured in a few pro-establishment music videos. Ko also rewrote lyrics of songs and uploaded videos of himself singing them on YouTube
-------------------------------------------
The deadline on May 2 has expired. Apple Daily inquired about the number of registrations of new trade unions from the Trade Union Registration Bureau and found that a total of 193 new trade unions were successfully registered from June last year to the 26th of last month.
The number of unions successfully registered in March and April this year was 49 and 87, accounting for about 70% of the period above. It is understood that all unions that have successfully registered before May 2nd submitted their applications in mid-January. The Trade Union Registration Bureau processed 2,669 new union applications in that time period. The newspaper asked the Registration Bureau for information on newly registered trade unions, including trade union names and addresses to understand the background. Among them, 54 had obvious "yellow" backgrounds; 60 had obvious pro-establishment backgrounds, and the remaining 79 were undetermined due to lack of information.
