English

Lee Kwong-yu is a Hong Kong trade unionist and information technology practitioner, a vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, and represents the labour functional constituency in the eighth-term Legislative Council. He has worked in the union movement for nearly twenty years and was chairman of the Hong Kong IT Workers' Association. He has held posts in engineering, property, innovation and technology and finance, giving him cross-sector and technology experience, and now manages union affairs across several of the federation's systems, covering public, service, clerical and professional, and tourism, retail and catering sectors, long working to link industries with the union movement. His guiding idea is that technology should empower people and service should come first. He advocates training tailored to workplace needs, helping small and medium enterprises and traditional industries adopt technology so that the benefits reach ordinary people, and has proposed making the whole city AI-ready so as to drive digital transformation of the labour market and upgrade workers' skills, with attention to youth development. He also follows employment, training, retirement protection, healthcare, the rights of workers under outsourced service contracts, and occupational safety and health. In the 2025 Legislative Council election five candidates contested three labour seats, and he was elected along with Chau Siu-chung and Lam Wai-kong, taking office on 1 January 2026. Since then he has met the Labour Department together with several unions to press for better heat-stress guidelines and for heatstroke to be recognised as a work injury, urged the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority and the operator of the eMPF platform to help workers recover unpaid wages and find new jobs, and taken part in the aftermath work for the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire, calling for a permanent post-disaster information platform and a review of occupational safety and risk-warning mechanisms.
