UNI Post & Logistics affiliate in Hong Kong, PEG (Postal & Express Workers General Union), have been organising workers in DHL Hong Kong into their union and have been seeking access to DHL workplaces so they can meet workers and discuss union membership and the issues they face as logistics workers. However DHL management have refused access to DHL workplaces to UNI and PEG claiming that this would favour one union over another. Seriously DHL, there are no unions in this company at present so favouritism is not the issue, an attitude of having no unions in your company and no proper independent representation for workers views is the more likely explanation!



Neil Anderson, Head of UNI Post & Logistics, recently met with Gordon Simpson, Senior Vice President Human Resources for DHL Logistics in Asia Pacific, to discuss his recent correspondence with UNI's office in Hong Kong where he said; "we do not support granting access to trade unions at our sites to organize workers". Following Neil Anderson's meeting with him in Singapore this attitude was reiterated with Mr Simpson saying it was; "confirmed that the DHL Express position on access to their premises to speak to employees had not changed."



So DHL, why no unions? How come a company that is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact which allows fundamental workers rights including trade union rights, is so adamant that unions can't organise their workers?

"No Entry" for UNI!

Neil Anderson was visiting Hong Kong and he was not able to access DHL premises to talk to any workers
