SLW welcomes agreement reached
******************************

     The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, today (January 6) welcomed the agreement reached between the management and staff of Hong Kong Airport Services (HAS) on annual performance bonus.

     "I am pleased that both parties expressed mutual understanding and the dispute could be resolved through a rational dialogue," he said.

     Mr Cheung sincerely thanked the Labour Department for its conciliation efforts in the past two weeks and successfully settling the dispute.

     "Given the rapidly changing economic environment and challenges arising from the financial tsunami, it is vitally important for employers and employees to work closely together and show greater understanding in order to ride out the storm," Mr Cheung said.
