Hongkong Post workers have criticized the government's special transfer scheme, stating it is insufficient and not tailored to their skills or experience. The scheme, which offers assistant clerical officer or clerical assistant positions with relaxed academic requirements, aims to support about 200 employees affected by cost-cutting measures at Hongkong Post.
However, many workers feel that the limited selection of roles, such as clerical positions, does not reflect their capabilities and leaves them struggling to secure suitable employment.
