Quite right Trafalgar.
That's why if we went on strike CX wouldn't get away with firing as the HK Govt would stop the sackings. HKG can't operate without CX.
The A scalers should have had the sense in 1999 to "be sacked" because HKG would have ordered reinstatement and back to the table. However, we (and I was one) were too stupid at the time to realise it.
