******************************************************************************************
     The Commissioner for Labour, Mr Sam Hui, has paid visits to labour organisations and employer associations since assuming office in July, including visiting the Federation of Hong Kong Industries today (August 15) to understand more about the concerns of employees and employers on various labour matters and to strengthen communication and engagement with both sides.

     Mr Hui called on two major labour organisations, namely the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Hong Kong & Kowloon Labour Unions. The labour organisations shared their views on various issues such as enhancing employment support, promoting occupational safety and health, and labour importation policy, and expressed concerns over the protection of the rights and benefits of digital platform workers.

     Mr Hui visited major employer associations, namely the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, the Employers' Federation of Hong Kong and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries. He exchanged views with the business sector on various subjects such as manpower planning, talent recruitment and importation of workers.

     Mr Hui said, "The Labour Department will continue to closely monitor changes in the local labour market and manpower situation in various industries, including the implementation of the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme, with a view to safeguarding employment priority for local workers while allowing employers with genuine needs to appropriately import workers. The Labour Department will also continue to maintain candid communication with employees and employers, foster harmonious labour relations and safeguard occupational safety and health."
