Many medical staff feel it's the only way to pressure the seemingly unresponsive government to completely shut the border to mainland Chinese visitors.

not soon enough - they're showing all the void ballots to the camera and explaining why they can't be counted. i guess this is what transparency looks like.

a medical worker cries as she explains the decision to strike. "everyday when we get off work we have to spend time preparing for this action...our colleagues stand in the cold for hours in order to join this union."

30% of medical staff in the union will strike on Monday; if the govt does not respond to demands by 9pm, then the rest of them will join in. about 9000 ppl in total.

just to be clear, striking is not some crazy pie in the sky idea - latest poll shows over 60% support the idea while 80% support closing the border. border closure is also supported by HK’s hospitals chief
