The Portuguese Overseas Chinese Committee in Asia and Oceania has expressed concerns about the salary of Portuguese Consulate staff. At present, the salary of personnel under the Portuguese establishment is only around MOP7,000, which is not even comparable to the salary of cleaning workers of large hotels. In its first annual face-to-face meeting, committee member Rita Santos noted affected staff members’ plans to participate a 12-day strike in April. The intention of the strike is to fight for the rights and interests of affected staff, who hope to improve their working environment.
