Social Welfare Sector Stands In Solidarity In Support of Movement
2030 | The “Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly” was held at 1900 at Edinburg place, Central today #17Dec, as part of a series of rallies and strike by the social welfare sector this week
One of the speakers on the assembly was Sonia Ng, who was remanded in custody and is now a vocal figure against police’s sexual violence at San Uk Ling Holding Centre. “Hong Kong girls are now much stronger than ever before,” She encouraged Hongkongers. She listed a few examples, like Hong Kong girls know how to distinguish different kinds of respiratory masks, and they are talking like truck drivers when they are assisting frontliners or fighting on the frontline. She emphasized that the Revolution is reconnecting Hongkongers, as well as her fiancé and her – they are getting married next year. People congratulated and cheered for her.

Medical workers escalate strike as negotiation with Hospital Authority breaks down; HA Chief Executive Refuses to Promise Not to Seek Retribution
At the end of the first day of the medical workers' strike, the Hospital Authority Employees Association (#HAEA) met with the Chief Executive of Hospital Authority (HA) Ko Pat-sing. Ko denied that HA was unsure about the union's demand for a full border lockdown with China. His reply made a stir in audience and a loud boo echoed through the meeting hall. Ko also refused to promise not to seek retribution against those took part in the strike.
As two of the five demands of HAEA were unable to be met, the negotiation quickly broke down. HAEA declared escalation of industrial actions on Feb 4.
Editor's note: It is noteworthy that the medical staff ask for nothing but the border closure; however, HA issued an impersonal letter to those on strike on Feb 3, disapproving the strike and urging them to report duty.

Flight Attendants’ Association calls a strike in support of medical staff, urging government to lockdown all borders with China
The Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Flight Attendants Association appealed to members and the public that a strike doesn’t mean they are clinging to life and fear death, rather it is because they do not want front-line colleagues to bear the great risk of being infected, worrying about work safety everyday.
“Guarding the health of our colleagues, passengers and the people of Hong Kong, the Association, though reluctantly, is calling for a strike, hoping to curb the virus from being transmitted to Hong Kong and to spread the epidemic any further.”

MTR Workers’ Union May Strike For Full Closures of Borders to Stop Transporting Virus
New coronavirus continues to spread and a few local cases were reported in Hong Kong. Following the strike initiated by the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance, the railway workers’ union Railway Power held a meeting yesterday to vote on industrial actions to combat the coronavirus. The poll had passed “in favor of a strike” as a resolution with 118 votes. NG King-cheung, vice-chairman of the Union, said if the MTR Corporation did not take actions, the railway may be responsible to the transportation of the virus throughout the city.
The Union requested to negotiate with the Corporation first, including pushing the government for a complete closure of the borders and requiring the Corporation to provide suitable protection equipment to employees. If the company refused to answer, the Union would call for a strike action together with those who signed the “declaration of strike”. NG said the Union would go public with the strike timetable to reduce public inconvenience.
