The CTU says it is disappointed that a Labour Day tradition dating back more than 30 years can't go ahead this year. An alliance of trade unions say they will mark the May 1 Labour Day by setting up booths across Hong Kong after an appeal board upheld a police ban on a proposed demonstration that was planned for Friday, RTHK reports. Confederation of Trade Unions' (CTU) chairwoman Carol Ng insisted it was feasible to set up street booths while still observing the regulations brought in to stem the coronavirus outbreak. Ng said she was disappointed that the Labour Day tradition of more than 30 years cannot continue this year. On Wednesday, the Public Assembly and Procession Appeals Committee upheld the police ban, rejecting CTU's appeal.-File photo: RTHK
