HK to allow in 5,000 mainlanders
16 November 2005
Under union pressure, Hong Kong employers will pay a minimum wage of US$25.78 a day to 5,000 mainland workers in a bid to revive the territory's weak manufacturing sector. The HK Labour Advisory Board, composed 50-50 of employers and employee representatives, agreed to a government proposal to permit the inflow of textile workers. The trial scheme requires existing factories to employ one local employee for every four mainlanders.
