The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions(HKCTU) has organised a demonstration outside the legislative council in the World Day for Decent Work in 2009. We demand the reasonable minimum wage level for supporting the basic needs of workers and their family members. We also fight to include the foreign domestic workers into the protection of minimum wage.

    Transport workers joined a protest rally organised by the HKCTU in front of the Legislative Council on 7 October. The first-ever legislation for a minimum wage is currently under discussion at the Bills Committee but domestic workers and migrant workers are not included in the bill. "Transport unions are expressing our solidarity today because there is a general tendency in Hong Kong to undermine the employment status and working conditions. For example, companies want to force the cross-border truck drivers to become self-employed workers". The event was part of the "World Day for Decent Work" promoted by the ITUC.
