周小鬆:餐飲業失業率短期料難改善 黃家和:無必要再輸入新外勞
本港最新失業率升至3.7%,差過市場預期。勞聯立法會議員(勞工界)周小鬆今早(21日)在一個電臺節目表示,餐飲業營業環境不佳,接連有食肆結業,加上輸入外勞計劃令人手供應增加,導致餐飲業失業率上升,估計短期內難以改善。 勞福局日前宣佈,自下月起,要求有意輸入初級廚師及侍應外勞的僱主,必須進行四星期本地招聘,及在勞工處就業中心進行招聘。周小鬆歡迎有關措施,認爲實地招聘,能夠確保僱主有進行本地招聘,並建議應立刻暫停輸入餐飲業外勞,未來亦要收緊外勞續簽要求。 香港餐飲聯業協會會長黃家和指出,在本港目前整體經濟欠佳的情況下,多間食肆、集團式餐廳及酒樓結業,已釋放大量人力資源,暫時沒有必要再輸入新外勞。至於已經申請並獲批的外勞名額,黃家和認爲,勞工處亦要因應現況重新審視,稱有業界向其反映因爲經濟情況不理想,生意不理想,輸入外勞亦沒有幫助,不排除將業務收縮或結業。 黃家和稱,近期餐飲業生意明顯受多項因素影響而下跌,不少食肆、集團式餐廳及酒樓結業。他指酒樓結業的影響十分大,指一間酒樓結業已有100名員工失業。對於餐飲業失業率由6%升到6.4%,黃家和指出,0.1%已接近代表2,000人,而上升0.4%即8,000人失業,憂慮他們難以在短期內找到新工作。
