Blue collar workers' evolving expectations / Tree larvae infestations
On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about blue collar workers' evolving expectations.
Citybus has just launched flexible contracts hoping to attract at least 100 new recruits, at a time when bus companies are struggling to hire new staff. Under the new terms, drivers will be allowed to take two days off after working three days in a row, with monthly salaries of up to HK$21,000 for drivers working 10 hours a day. Previously, bus captains were usually entitled to one day off a week.
Two years ago, the same operator launched half-day contracts in response to an increasing trend of younger people opting to take up two part-time jobs rather than a full-time one.
Is the service industry ready to implement more such arrangements? Will this have an impact on operating costs? We'll find out.
After 9:45, we learn more about a larvae outbreak affecting some of the city's trees.
9:05am-9:45am: Blue collar workers' evolving expectations
9:05m-9:45am: Roy Ying, Co-Chair (Advocacy and Policy Research Committee), Hong Kong Institute of Human Resources Management
