The "Two Million Three Strikes Union Front" announced today (6th) that it will launch the first strike referendum in Hong Kong on the 14th of this month, hoping to gather 60,000 members to vote. If the total number of votes reaches six adults and 80% of the trade unions reach the threshold, the union will launch a two-stage strike to express its opposition to the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law.

The number of trade union members is close to 10,000. The participating trade unions will set up street stations to recruit members from today. They can also "vote immediately upon joining" on the day of the referendum. Wu Min'er, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, said that uniting "wage earners" is the strongest and most powerful front, and expects more unions to join the strike.

Target to get a referendum of 60,000 union members
Deng Zhuowen, a trade union in the Hong Kong IT industry, said the strike is divided into two parts and a referendum will be held on June 14. The goal is to vote for 60,000 union members, even if there are not enough members. A cross-union strike will only be launched when six adults support the motion to strike and 80% of the trade unions reach the threshold. He explained that the strike will be divided into two stages. The first stage is a three-day "warning strike". Members can take any form, such as annual leave and unpaid leave. The second stage will start before the national security law is implemented. "Strike" means that members have to go through traditional absenteeism and demand that the government withdraw from the National Security Law. The details of the strike will be announced later.
Xu Kaoli said that the current number of union members is close to 10,000, covering 23 industries, including clerical, transportation, and catering industries. He believes that the increase from 10,000 to 60,000 is not much, and hopes that Hong Kong people will change from "holiday struggle" To integrate resistance into life.
