The National People's Congress passed the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" earlier. The "Two Million Three Strikes United Front" composed of different trade unions will launch a referendum on the 20th of this month to decide whether to express opposition to legislation through strikes.

The HA staff front set up a street station outside the Prince of Wales Hospital this (13th) afternoon to recruit colleagues to join the union and respond to the strike. Yu Huiming, chairman of the staff front of the HA, said, "I don't want the first doctor Li Wenliang to appear in Hong Kong. I don't want to be accused by the state of subverting state power and imprisoned for speaking the truth or exposing the truth." She said that after the referendum was passed If 4,000 members sign a strike declaration, and 80% of the labor unions involved in the strike reach at least 5% of industry strikes, a full strike will be launched.

The HA staff front set up a street station outside the Prince of Wales Hospital this afternoon, distributed leaflets to recruit colleagues to join the union, and called on members to participate in the online intention survey.

Yu Huiming, chairman of the staff front of the Hospital Authority, said that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Act" not only affects a small group of people, but the health care community cannot be alone, and even affects the entire population of Hong Kong. "I don't want the first doctor Li Wenliang to appear in Hong Kong. I don't want to be accused by the state of subverting the state power, imprisoned, or sent to prison for speaking the truth or exposing the truth." For example, referring to his earlier attack by a large number of mainland netizens, he withdrew an article published in Ming Pao that read "Popular Epidemic Origins in Wuhan, 17 Years of Forgetting Lessons", "I don't think even the only freedom of speech has disappeared. "

Yu Huiming said that the HA staff front did not join the "two million three strike joint front", because the HA has 20,000 members, which is a relatively large scale. She emphasized that the union will respond to the industrial actions of the United Front. After the United Front’s referendum is passed, if 4,000 members sign a strike declaration and 80% of the participating labor unions reach at least 5% of industry strikes, a full strike will be launched. Divided into emergency or non-emergency services. Regarding the appeal of strikes, the Front hopes to require the HA to publicly express its opposition to the National Security Law, and to formulate specific measures to protect employees, and requires the HA to promise not to punish employees involved in the strike.

She said frankly that at this stage, she was unable to determine whether she could gather enough people to respond to the strike, and the union would do its best to promote it. Asked if she was worried about being criticized for the impact of the strike on the patient, she responded that she believed that most citizens in Hong Kong also opposed the National Security Act. They would understand the concept of strike medical care and the reasons behind it.
