June 2020 Anti-Epidemic Fund

The Employee Rights Concern Group of HKFTU monitoring the Government Anti-epidemic Fund reckoned that the two rounds of anti-epidemic fund were inadequate. From June to August, it has constantly suggested that the government should directly assist workers and should start the legislation of the unemployment assistance system as soon as possible. Concerns include the neglect of the people without MPF accounts, direct assistance to the workers with increased subsidies, insufficient support for the industries, and the set-up of a long-term unemployment assistance scheme.
