A coalition of pro-Beijing trade unions is protesting a decision by Hongkong Post to cease offering permanent civil servant contracts to new employees. The move, intended to reduce operating costs, is anticipated to impact approximately 200 postal workers. Lawmakers from the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) are leading the opposition, arguing the change will negatively affect job security and worker benefits. The unions are urging the government to intervene and reverse Hongkong Post's policy. They express concern over the increasing trend of temporary employment within the civil service. This decision raises questions about the future of employment stability for postal workers in Hong Kong. The FTU views the policy as detrimental to the rights and welfare of its members.
