Largest HK Trade Union Group Said to be Preparing to Disband
Sources claim that the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) has begun preparations to disband, following a committee meeting last night (Sept 16).
Responding to Stand News' inquiry, Chairperson Wong Nai-yuen says he has no comment regarding the claims, published by Pro-Beijing Wen Wei Po this morning (Sept 17). "I think everyone understands," He adds.
He further confirms that the union group will hold a press conference on the 19th to give further details to the public.
The HKCTU was founded in 1990. It is the first labor organization in Hong Kong to emphasize autonomy and democracy. Aiming to break the pattern of past labor unions having close ties to the regime, the union sought to dedicate itself to the labor sector, staying clear from the control of outside forces.
The CTU has 97 affiliated unions with 145,000 members in total. Affiliated unions represent various occupation sectors, including property management, cleaning, transportation, aviation, household and personal services, catering, construction, retail, business services, theme parks, beauty, education sectors, social welfare industries, civil servants, and more.
