Although labor has not been at the forefront of the current wave of protests, throughout the uprising, there have been pockets of labor unrest, including general strike last summer, and strong undercurrent of class tension threads through the mass mobilization in the streets.
We speak with L.H. Au of Workercom, and Wong Yu-loy, Organising Coordinator of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions about the role that organized labor plays in Hong Kong's current political landscape.
