Sacked Union Chief Takes Legal Action against Cathay Dragon's Alleged Political Retaliation
"A former head of the Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Flight Attendants Association took her ex-employer to the Labour Tribunal on Friday [#Jan17] over her sacking last summer, not long after the SAR's political crisis erupted.
Rebecca Sy was dismissed after she was asked by management of Cathay Dragon to confirm the authenticity of several social media messages she had posted. But no specific reasons were given for her dismissal.
Sy is demanding to be reinstated and compensation of HK$150,000.
The case was adjourned until March 6.
Sy's dismissal came at a time when Cathay Pacific, the parent company of Cathay Dragon, was under pressure from the mainland's aviation regulator over flight crew joining Hong Kong protests or expressing support for them.
The regulator said no Cathay planes would be allowed to enter mainland airspace if any such crew members were on board."

International Policing Expert: HK Police Commissioner Refused Advice, Complaints Council Excludes Protester Interviews from Report
British policing expert Professor #CliffordStott, who withdrew from the panel of international experts reviewing Hong Kong police conduct during the 2019 Anti-ELAB protests, had since published his own investigative report.
During a video conference on Jan 16, 2021 with Hong Kong Democratic Party's International Affairs committee, Stott recalled the panel's meeting with Hong Kong police commissioner #ChrisTang. He noted that Tang was indifferent to the reason why citizens were protesting, and refused to listen to the council's suggestions.
Stott also mentioned that when he was in Hong Kong as a member of the Independent Police Complaints Council (#IPCC), he interviewed protesters and the lawyers who assisted them. However, the council was unwilling to include these interviews in its findings; this was illustrative of the biased nature of the report.
The panel of international experts was dismayed that the IPCC lacked the power to investigate the police force, and had planned to hold a press conference before leaving the city in order to voice their concerns. However, certain unnamed persons criticized their press release, even demanding them to not publish their views.
Commissioner Tang Hogged the Mic with a 45-Minute Speech
Clifford Stott is the Dean of research at the social psychology department of Britain's Keele University, and his research specializes in the issues and policies of policing unrest and public order. He emphasized the necessity of understanding the underlying reasons behind any riots or public unrest.
Taking an example from Hong Kong's 2019 Anti-ELAB protests, he noted that the nature of the movement has changed since protesters broke into the Legislature on July 1, 2019. The peaceful marches since then often ended in clashes, and violent fighting had become more common. He believes that the police must understand why protesters are taking to the streets before they could solve the problem at its root. Furthermore, they must step out of their preconceptions as authority figures before they can accurately analyze the protesters' actions, and arrive at conclusions that reflect reality.
However, when Stott and the IPCC met with the Commissioner of Police Chris Tang, Tang first lectured them for 45 minutes.
The professor was not impressed at Tang's unwillingness to interact with the IPCC, commenting that "it is not really a discussion".
"No Desire" to Reconcile with the Public
During break time, Stott approached Tang to raise his concerns, urging the police to face the cause of the protests and understand what citizens were demanding. His advice fell on deaf ears, however. Stott said that the police made it obvious that they did not welcome advice, had completely rejected their suggestions, and had "no desire to step back into the relationship" with the public.
As for the IPCC report, Stott criticized that it only made moral judgments on the conduct of protesters, but did not analyze the root cause of the movement, nor did it give the same attention to the conduct of the police. It also left out his interviews of protesters and their lawyers. Such a report, Stott concluded, could only give a partial and biased representation of the reality of the Hong Kong protests.
