I will FULLY support the HKPA members in any action they deem appropriate to launch against the company. The vast majority of them are being taken advantage of by the company, and further, many if not all were led to HK on the basis of a cleverly deceptive package that ensured most were not aware of the full costs and consequences of living here. The other conceit of the company is the suggestion that all the cadets are 'local'. A cadet from North America or Aus/NZ/SA is NOT local. Many of the local locals have homes provided by parents here in HK. The non-local cadets do not enjoy that luxury, and therefore require a bit more in housing to compensate. The bottom line is this: no matter what contract they 'signed', they are entitled to a package that allows them to live comfortably and be able to plan and enjoy a normal life (wife/children/savings etc). Most of my senior colleagues feel the same.
