The International Transport Workers’ Federation has condemned the temporary injunction that dismisses striking dock workers from Kwai Tsing Container Terminals in the Port of Hong Kong, claiming it is a violation of global standards.
The ITF has called on HIT, which is owned by Hutchison Port Holdings Trust, to engage in discussions to improve working conditions and ensure parity between the company’s outsourced workers and its directly employed workforce.
