On Beijing's orders, HK govt crushed independent trade unions and suppressed protests - giving capitalist employers & the state free hand against workers.

The predictable, intentional result: working class living standards decline.

Solidarity with those continuing the fight.

Uyghur refugees detained in Thailand must be set free! They need safe and secure resettlement, not indefinite imprisonment and not forced return to China.

Our own UK government must take note too - we demand sanctuary for people fleeing persecution, not forced removal to Rwanda.

🎥 #LabourDay rallies #hongkongers walked together

Every year on 5.1, #hongkongers take to the streets.
But not this year. Workers in #HK have been denied the right to organise a Labour Day rally for the past five years. But we'll always remember the ones we walked together.

Stop the Rwanda deportations! Against abuses of human rights around the world - including the repression of the Uyghurs - the first duty of every state is to give sanctuary and equality to refugees fleeing persecution.

Refugees welcome - join the emergency protest on Wednesday!

📢 Exciting news! To carry forward the spirit of HK independent labour movement, we're hosting the first Hong Konger Labour Festival in the UK.

Date: 11 May (Sat.)
Time: 11am - 6pm
Venue: Living Space, 1 Coral St, Waterloo, London SE1 7BE

1am UK time might be a little late for many of our supporters & followers, but if you can stay up late we think that this session hosted by allies in the US 'Labor Solidarity through supply chains: Foxconn and the US Labor movement' will be very informative & a worthwhile watch!

And Ben T, a UNISON - UK's largest union workplace rep, shared how organised workers can confront and stop tyrants and human rights abusers. That's the power our campaign hopes to help build - if you agree, follow us and get involved!

Our picket protesting Apple in London was supported by Asst General Secretary John Moloney on behalf of PCS Union.

He spoke about pressuring Apple for workers' rights and the irony of a 'Communist' party state that bans free trade unions and supports corporations over workers.
