Union New Civil Servants encouraged by results of the referendum
Michael Ngan, chairman of Union for New Civil Servants, expressed frustration that many members from other unions, as well as himself, have been treated unfairly at work because of their political stance.
However, the fact that a lot of civil servants still came out and voted today despite measures by the government in an attempt to deter them, has made him realised that he needs to stand firm in his convictions and keep speaking out for them. He felt encouraged and promised that the union will keep providing a platform for workers to express their views. Further discussions need to be held to make plans for the next move.
