[Title] => Hong Kong pop star’s Pinay maid charged with stealing

[Title] => Pinoy, Indon maids march in Hong Kong to demand wage increase
[Summary] => HONG KONG (AP) — About 500 Filipino and Indonesian maids working in Hong Kong marched through downtown streets yesterday to demand a wage increase.
"Stop modern slavery! Wage increase now!" read placards held by the domestic workers who marched from a downtown square to Hong Kong’s government headquarters.
The protesters demanded the government scrap a 400 Hong Kong dollars ($51) tax on employers that was introduced in 2003 when Hong Kong’s economy was in recession, and raise their minimum monthly salary to the original level of HK$3,670 ($471).

[Title] => Filipino domestic helpers in HK rally against WTO
[Summary] => HONG KONG (AP) — Hundreds of domestic helpers from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Nepal working in Hong Kong protested yesterday against the World Trade Organization, denouncing it as favoring big business over rank-and-file workers.
