Hong Kong (RAE - China) - Music company by-passed union

When the newly formed union at Tom Lee Music requested a meeting with management in December 2015, the company refused to talk to it, and said it would communicate with the workers directly. As there is no legal obligation on employers to negotiate with unions, by-passing unions and going straight to the workers is a common occurrence, according to the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU).
