外傭 反徵稅大遊行

各位民間友好:

政府以財赤為名,不惜向漂泊在港、辛辛苦苦工作去照顧家鄉親人的外傭開刀,開徵外傭培訓稅,並削減外傭的最低工資400元。

如果你是勞工:工資保障是勞工的基本權利!外傭的最低工資現是3270元,每天大都工作15-18個小時,平均每個小時只有7元,水平之低根本就有違勞工的尊嚴,作為勞工的一份子,我們應該反對開徵外傭培訓稅!

要抵抗掌權者無理的剝削,要所有勞工基層都團結一致,正如外傭經常支持我們的抗爭一樣。

如果你是婦女:

在港工作的外傭家務助理,十居其九都是女性。她們被剝削,是婦女貧窮化表現,亦是發展中國家婦女為了糊口而付出的沉重代價。作為婦女,我們豈能坐視這種剝削,我們應該反對開徵外傭培訓稅!

如果你是社會的一份子:

外傭是廣大基層的一部份,亦是被邊緣化的一群,語言的障礙偶爾會令我們較少溝通,但不能止我們對公義的追求,面對政府這種恃強凌弱的做法,本著基層互助的精神,我們應該反對開徵外傭培訓稅!

亞洲移居人士聯盟﹙AMCB﹚正散發一封致外傭僱主的公開信,以及發起一個大遊行,請你:

將公開信散播給你認識的外傭僱主;

參與AMCB發起的遊行:2月6日﹙星期日﹚,12:00

遮打花園集會,2:00遊行至政府總部。

如有查詢,請致電9758 5935 或 9608 1475。
