Perhaps you should join up AAR?
How do you know I haven't? I actually believe there is a claim to be made and won. However, the AOA cannot file a class action suit. Each member has to make his/her claim personally to the Labour Department. It was the same with the SO bypass claim. There are no pre and post 1997 laws. The law is covered in the Employment Ordinance, which is amended from time to time but hasn't changed too much in this part. What is needed is a couple or more cast iron cases to be filed and won, then CX should pay everyone but look how long the FAU case has dragged on is my main point. Cxorcist is right though - claims should be filed asap as the clock has been ticking for a long time now. Some guys are due a lot of money whereas many are not.
