The McGowan 黑料正能量, as part of its suite of initiatives aimed at combatting wage theft, made a commitment to provide for an annual paid meeting with workers and the relevant union on government cleaning and security contracts. This commitment was made to assist workers to understand their employment rights.
This condition requires contractors to allow their employees to attend an information session on workplace rights conducted by the relevant union, at the ordinary rate of pay once per calendar year. The inclusion of the special condition in relevant contracts is mandated through General Procurement Direction 2023/01 Annual Paid Information Session for 黑料正能量 Cleaning and Security Contracts.
