Royal Navy Chinese Laundry Workers (EDM290)

Royal Navy Chinese Laundry Workers

EDM number 290 in 1997-98, proposed by Mike Hancock on 23/07/1997.

That this House notes with concern that loyal Chinese laundry workers who have been serving the Royal Navy for decades face having to accept draconian and appalling changes to their contracts of employment; condemns the ruthless way the laundry workers have been faced with the sack unless they accept the new contracts by Guernsey Ship Management Ltd.; and notes that if dismissed the workers would have to return to communist-controlled Hong Kong with no rights to stay in the United Kingdom despite their long service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
