                    [Summary] => Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong will join today maids from other Asian countries in a march to protest a HK$400-levy on their salaries expected to be announced on March 5.


Organizers from the Asian Migrant Coordinating Body, a coalition of domestic helpers from different countries, said more than 5,000 maids are to take part in what is expected to be the biggest rally against the levy.
