LCQ4: Labour importation for aviation industry and protection for local employees

Following is a question by the Hon Tang Ka-piu and a reply by the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, in the Legislative Council today (November 4): Question: It has been reported that following the Government's launch of the Labour Importation Scheme for the Transport Sector - Aviation Industry (the Scheme) in July 2023, the overall income of some local frontline airport employees has fallen, affecting their livelihood. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) whether it knows the median monthly basic wages, the average number of overtime hours and the average amounts of overtime allowance of local employees in the 10 frontline job types covered by the Scheme over the past three years; of the changes in these figures compared with those before the implementation of the Scheme; (2) whether it knows the actual amount disbursed and the number of employees benefiting each month since the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) introduced the measure of transport subsidies for local frontline airport employees in May 2024, and the current balance of the funds for the transport subsidies; whether AAHK will study raising the transport subsidy ceiling
