Workers Continue Protests at Li's Hong Kong Port Operator
Workers at a Hong Kong port are continuing a six-day strike over wages. The workers have been barred from entering the terminals after staging a sit-in between March 28 and April 1. The workers are asking for a 20% pay increase. The owner of the port where the workers are contracted to work said that it will ask for a 5% increase from the contractor. The company estimates that it has lost about $600,000 a day since the strike began.
