For many years, the Hospital Authority Employees General Union, affiliated to HKCTU, has been demanding recognition and regular meetings with the management of the Hospital Authority without success. On 2 September the union staged a protest to demand a meeting with the management to resolve the 43 complaints of harassments it had received from members and staff in the past year. The management ignored the demand of the union for recognition.
Similarly, in 2018 companies such as Hong Kong Express, Hong Airlines and Vitasoy also continued to refuse recognising the affiliated unions of HKCTU for negotiations and collective bargaining.
