TheFederation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions (HKFLU), established in 1984, is the second largest trade union inHong Kong, after theHong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, having 82trade unions and more than 60,000 members in total.[1] The federation was established in 1984.
The FLU was established in November 1984 by 15,000 members, 13 trade unions and 4 labour organisations.[1] It remained fairly neutral between the two major trade unions, thepro-Taiwan right-wingHong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council (TUC) andpro-Beijing left-wingHong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU).
During the transition period of thetransfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from theUnited Kingdom to People's Republic of China, the head of the Federation,Lee Kai-ming, was invited by Beijing to theHong Kong Basic Law Consultative Committee, which was responsible for the drafts ofHong Kong Basic Law, the mini-constitution after 1997. Lee was elected as the member of theLegislative Council in 1995, along withCheng Yiu-tong of the FTU, representing theLabour constituency. In 1996, Lee was member of thePreparatory Committee for the SAR and theProvisional Legislative Council (PLC), the interim legislature controlled by the Beijing government.
After the handover, the FLU retained one seat in the Labour constituency of the Legislative Council.Li Fung-ying, the then vice-chairman of the Federation was LegCo member until her retirement in 2012. She was succeeded byPoon Siu-ping who served until 2021.Chau Siu-chung is the FLU's current representative in the LegCo.
In April 2023, the FLU failed to gain police approval for a Labour Day march.[2]
