Yeah, I remember a very successful industrial action by the FAU in '89 or '90 when CX was considered a good company to work for. The company did everything possible to demonise the CC locally, as they always do, but public support was overwhelmingly behind the crews, as you would expect. The company folded eventually but they got their revenge on the union office holders in a later series of setups. I do recall the union leader, a Filipina, won significant compensation after many years of legal battles for wrongful dismissal.
I wish the FAU al the best.
Incidentally, I do recall it almost snowing in Kowloon Tong one dark December.
