The Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU) says its plans for a large-scale Labour Day demonstration have been drawn up with government coronavirus guidelines in mind, and it will be pressing this point as it seeks to overturn the police's ban on the proposed march, RTHK reports. The CTU is to challenge this decision before an appeal board on Wednesday afternoon. "This social distance was recommended by the government itself, so we are just following what they recommend," Ng said. But if the appeal board sides with the police, she said the CTU will think of other ways to mark Labour Day, noting that some groups are planning to hold street booths. There were also calls circulating online for protests in various parts of the city this Friday.
