HONG KONG—Hong Kong port workers accepted on Monday a 9.8% pay
rise—ending their strike and averting further disruption at the world's
third-busiest container port.

"We think that it's a victory for the workers to have successfully
secured a pay rise with quite a good percentage increase—and that after
our strike we got something—and also the union is strengthened,"
Confederation of Trade Unions organizing coordinator Chan Chiu-wai said
on Monday.
The strike began on March 28. At its height more than 450 workers for
subcontractors of Hongkong International Terminals participated, making
it Hong Kong's largest industrial action for six years. Ships faced
loading or unloading delays of up to three days. Many were diverted.
Workers sought a 20% rise and better conditions but later demanded a
"double-digit" increase. Employers on Friday made the 9.8% offer.

Short position —said handling had been returning to normal as strikers
returned and new staff were hired. Terminals were operating at 90% over
the weekend, Hutchison said on Monday.
Large strikes in Hong Kong are rare because of weak unions and
generally improved conditions. A 2007 strike by steel-bar benders ended
after nearly 40 days following pay increases.
