According from those emails, have a common point is: the maids went to labour court OR Small Claims Tribunal to sue the employer. Most of the cases are the employers worry it will take long time to proceed OR cannot take so many leave from work. Then they admit their fault and compensate to the maid.
Our labor laws become there excuse and shelter. Maids have there own union in HKG, they try to use different excuse or lies to make the HKG employer to pay them more. Even the employers pay them exactly and follow the laws exactly. But those maids still can sue them even without evidence. My kindness Chief Executive, do you think you can mention those issue in Legislative Council or another venue. Try to protect those innocent employers. Most of them are working couple, they need to work, if not cannot raise up their child. Employ domestic helper is there only choice. No another way out.
Now a day, the labour laws were too many grey areas, so those maids can do what they want OR get more and more interest from employers. Even have one case, the justice asked the employer, "you settle the bill la, and you will lose your time on those procedures. Even you did not own her any money, but please consider your time consumption", finally the employer pay extra and crying in front of the Justice.
I hope you can fully utilize your power to benefit the people who need your help.
I know you are very good but just sometimes the people do not know how to communicate with you.
i agreed with loreal, there are so many employers here only talk but not willing to take any action. That made their union more agressive. So disappointed!!
會唔會寫封請願信,高調交比政府!等多d記者報導!最好我地可以去信揾個志同道合嘅議員幫下口,起碼佢地講一句都有人報導!
其實,如果可以組織一個民間外傭僱主權益組織就好!我地可以自設外傭black list 資料庫!資料庫不會向公眾公開!但可提供比僱主參考等等!因為一公開就比人block!
其實炒左之前果個做左2年嘅賤印,e+再請個新嘅工人湊女,我都冇信心!如果都唔好,我都唔想再請!辭工自己湊返!
I very agree and support what you say. But after my observation, most of the employers like to keep talking talking... about how worst their maids, how they cheating them. But when someone mention to do something, like protest OR another formal way to go through with relevant department, then the employers will prefer take a break and shut up.... That's why we are very far behind with the Philipino. And most of the cases were won by the maid side, is because of we do not want any trouble.
We think few thousand can save more time, but you do not your spoiling aciton, only make their union more aggressive on such things.
could we contact TVB or ATV, so they may make a program on this topic on let's say "星期二檔案", and if we send lots of emails, we can print the emails (hundreds or even thousands) as proof, so the tv station can use them to question the government like why the government has no action even there are thousands of complaints from the public, etc..etc..?!?
couple years ago in Canada, they want to pass the law about "人頭稅賠款", I can't remember was it the chinese radio station or the newspaper or from a Chinese councillor Miss Chow, asking all Chinese Canadian to send a template email to their MP (lots of my friends - chinese or non-chinese, and myself sent the email), pressure them to vote yes, and of course, that law finally passed.
I understand there is different in the culture between Canada and Hong Kong, but is it something we may want to learn from a democracy country, if we will get in trouble (告我教唆)by sending email to express our views our experiences, no wonder people said Hong Kong has no democracy lor!
i suggest that they should 留案底 in hk & their country if they steal or hurt the kid. And cannot apply working visa again.
hk govenment is very proactiv, they only work when someone voice out loudly.
Going onto the street on 1 July is good but i think we better be well organize and try to gather as much ppl as we can. Then we draft what we are asking for and see who can help or support us. Then we need to see how we could make things happen.
