English

Lau Chin-shek (born 12 September 1944 in Guangzhou, Guangdong, with family roots in Shunde), JP, is a Hong Kong trade union leader and former Legislative Council member. He came to Hong Kong from Guangzhou in 1960, aged just sixteen, and as a young man worked in different trades in the industrial districts of Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan, gaining first-hand knowledge of workers' conditions; from the 1980s he devoted himself to the labour movement, helping workers press for fair treatment and better conditions and rights, and helping workers at many local factories form unions and handling cases of unpaid wages, injuries and dismissals. He served as an officer and later director of the Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee, and subsequently as its vice-chairman. In 1990 he and others including Lee Cheuk-yan founded the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU), and he became its founding chairman and later its president; the confederation grew into one of Hong Kong's main union federations, representing employees across many trades. He was first elected to the Legislative Council in 1991 through direct election and thereafter long spoke up for the labour sector and grassroots citizens. In December 1994 he briefly resigned his seat to protest the government's withdrawal of a draft employment amendment bill, becoming the first legislator to resign in the chamber; he regained his seat in the March 1995 by-election and was returned again in the September 1995 election, serving until 1997. From 1998 to 2008 he was a Legislative Council member, one of the few post-handover members elected directly on a trade-union platform. His approach stressed organising by workers themselves and fighting for rights on the two fronts of the union and the legislature; in office he repeatedly spoke on labour legislation, occupational safety, social welfare and grassroots housing, and championed the protection of disadvantaged communities. Alongside Lee Cheuk-yan he was a representative figure of Hong Kong's labour movement and one of its most important post-war personalities.
