Hong Kong’s domestic worker union, the FADWU, has strongly opposed employer groups’ petition for a wage freeze. The union argues that recent pay increases haven’t kept pace with Hong Kong’s escalating cost of living, leaving migrant workers struggling financially. FADWU is advocating for improved worker protections alongside fair compensation. This response directly challenges claims made by employer groups seeking to maintain the current wage structure. The union believes a freeze would exacerbate the financial burdens faced by domestic workers. They emphasize the need for wages to reflect economic realities and ensure a decent standard of living for this vulnerable workforce, and are campaigning for stronger legal safeguards.
