 ◆ Labor Day Rally Held in HK

The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions held a gathering on May 1 at the Victoria Park to celebrate the International Labor Day.

More than 2,000 Hong Kong trade union members and residents participated in the event, with a theme of "employment, rights and benefits, mutual help and striving."

The federation set up dozens of booths providing employment information, consultation on labor laws and other employment-related activities.

Cheng Yiu-tong, chairman of the federation, delivered an address at the gathering, urging Hong Kong people to unite efforts to boost the development of Hong Kong.

"Mutual help and the striving spirit are the traditional virtues of the labor," he said.

He stressed that Hong Kong people should strive, unite despite difficulties instead of complaining, especially under the economic decline.
