Many members of the Hong Kong Railways Trade Unions Federation, outside the MTR headquarters building today, pulled up banners and slogans to urge MTR not to freeze their salaries. The union members shouted "Salary freezes and pay attention to the plight of employees; face the hard work of employees and give them reasonable remuneration" and other slogans.
