HONG KONG -- The following is being issued by Concerned Labor Organizations:

In an unprecedented resolution of support, labor organizations representing approximately 5.7 million workers worldwide have issued a global alert to labor watchdogs and stakeholders concerning the tactics of some multinational corporations operating in Hong Kong.
