Hong Kong Government to Beijing : Carry Out Political Retribution on Medical Staff
The recent epidemic report submitted by the Chief Executive’s Office to the Central Government has specifically mentioned the largest medical staff strike in Hong Kong history. The report described the medical union that initiated the strike as “black sheep”. They were also falsely labeled as affiliated with anti-extradition protestors. It was also mentioned in the report that the government has demanded the Hospital Authority to take action against those who organized the strike, stating that these “black sheep should not be allowed to continue working in the hospitals”.
In the submitted report, the Chief Executive’s Office criticized the union’s demand to close the border, saying it was only a “slogan” and that many citizens were being misled in forming this mainstream opinion. The report mentioned that the SAR government has refused to be involved, and that Chief Executive Carrie Lam has turned down meetings with unions. They emphasized SAR government’s strong stance by reiterating they will not enforce a total border shutdown, will not impose travel restrictions on mainland residents and will respect mainland authorities in handling immigration matters.
Ivan Law, the Vice-Chairman of the HA Employees Alliance criticized the report as not reflecting the facts and believed that it was meant to discredit the union. He pointed out a few false descriptions in the report: that the reason for terminating the strike was not due to public dissatisfaction; the reason for the strike was not political; and the demand for border shutdown was not discriminatory against mainland citizens.
Law stated that although the members of the union were prepared to face political retribution and funds have been reserved to aid those members on strike. He said he “did not expect that the government would issue a written statement explicitly asking the Hospital Authority to take action against striking members.”
