End in sight for HK port strike?

Hong Kong: The end might be in sight for the nearly month-long strikes that have rocked Hong Kong port. Striking dockworkers said yesterday they would be prepared to ease their demands so long as contractors put agreements in writing.

Workers want direct talks with Everbest, a contractor managing crane operators, as well as a representative of port operator Hongkong International Terminals (HIT). They will still push for a double digit pay rise, but not more than 20% as originally stipulated.  [24/04/13]
