Federation of Trade Unions vice-chairman Lee Che-kin

Thousands of people on Tuesday joined a march organised by the Federation of Trade Unions from the Southorn Playground in Wan Chai to government headquarters, as workers took to the streets to mark Labour Day.

Aside from demanding better terms like higher wages and fewer working hours, FTU vice-chairman Lee Che-kin said bosses must stop dipping into workers' pension funds for severance and long-service payments.
