I am not posting my views because I want to decrease the conditions of my colleagues. FYI I am not an LEP and I am certainly not the one that signed over CoS08 and significantly reduced the time to upgrade of my junior colleagues.
The argument that is being used to defend why an expat receives housing over an LEP is completely flawed and is hypocritical. I have argued in previous threads and support your views that an LEP can't complain about expat benefits when he/she accepted the terms of their contract. I agree!
However, to say hat we should still receive full expat benefits over an LEP when we voluntarily return to Hong Kong after taking a permanent base is wrong and is discriminatory against the LEPs. If you weren't enticed to return to Hong Kong why should any of us expect full expat benefits??
The company has no choice but to change the terms to avoid a discriminatory lawsuit. Unless it is forced to pay full expat benefits to everyone in Hong Kong, but I trust my colleagues as much as I trust management when it comes to taking industrial action.
