The Federation of Trade Unions conducted a questionnaire survey on employment status in mid-April and interviewed about 1,000 people. More than 30% of the respondents were unemployed or unemployed for 1 year or more; 18% of the respondents were unemployed for 1 to 3 months; 15% Respondents were unemployed for less than one month, and the other eight adults had less income than the same period last year.
47% of the interviewees have been vaccinated, 39% of them want to be protected by the vaccine; 28% said they want to pass customs and be exempt from quarantine, and only 9% of them are vaccinated because of work needs.
The Federation of Trade Unions urges the government to allocate 15 billion yuan as soon as possible to provide half-year unemployment or suspension allowances, and proposes an additional vaccination leave to allow people who have been vaccinated against the new crown to enjoy one day of paid sick leave.
The survey results showed that 60% of the respondents agreed to legislate to allow citizens to receive one day of paid sick leave after being vaccinated, 31% of the respondents said they had no opinion, and 9% said they disagreed.

42% of non-vaccinated respondents worry about complications
A survey by the Federation of Trade Unions showed that 53% of the interviewees were not vaccinated, 42% of them were worried about complications after vaccination, and 14% were not vaccinated due to deaths after vaccination. They believed that the protection rate was low and they were not vaccinated. The need accounted for 11% respectively.
Sixty percent of the respondents agreed to legislate to allow citizens to receive one day of paid sick leave after being vaccinated. 31% of the respondents said they had no opinion, and another 9% said they disagreed.
Lu Songxiong, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that the current coverage rate of the new crown vaccination in Hong Kong is only about 10%, which is not ideal. The public has expressed worries about vaccination and believes that the government should strengthen publicity. It is clear that the death cases have nothing to do with the vaccine and emphasized vaccination. The benefits outweigh the risks and reverse the public’s resistance to vaccines.
Lu Songxiong mentioned that the chance of serious side effects after vaccination is very low, but minor side effects often occur. He suggested that the government legislate to allow citizens vaccinated with the new crown vaccine to enjoy one day of paid sick leave and encourage citizens to vaccinate.

Promote the payment of unemployment and suspension allowances for a period of six months
The epidemic has disrupted the job market. Lu Songxiong said that the unemployment situation is serious and the government cannot avoid granting unemployment or suspension allowances. He urges the authorities to allocate 15 billion yuan as soon as possible to provide half-year unemployment or suspension allowances.
He said that he was disappointed with the Secretary for Labour and Welfare Law Chi-kwong, saying that Luo had always refuted unemployment assistance only conceptually, and did not go into details to explain. He also pointed out that the number of unemployment CSSA recipients increased far below the growth of the unemployed, reflecting unemployment. CSSA has little effect.
