I find it quite disturbing that in these relatively good economic times, where the vast majority of Hong Kongers are seeing raises and salary increases, that some people find the need to go down to Tamar and protest against helpers getting a raise!!
Surely their wages (minimum allowable wages) should be tied to key economic indicators and go up with inflation?
I also think that the Hong Kong gov. needs to adjust the minimum salary requirement for people to employ a FDH. I'm not sure when the 15k per month salary minimum for a person to employ a helper was last reviewed, but I think it's fair to say that making 15k a month in 2007 is a lot different than making 15k a month in 2013. I think that limit should be tied to economic indicators as well, and be adjustable.
