The Employers’ Federation of Hong Kong (EFHK) (Chinese: 香港僱主聯合會) is a non-profit organisation established to represent the interests of employers, in the wake of the growing economic activities in Hong Kong right after the Second World War.[1] It is a member organisation of the Election Committee, the electoral college responsible for electing the Chief Executive of Hong Kong.[2]
It was initially created in 1945 as a subcommittee of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce,[3] with which it still maintains strong links.[4] Following the Chinese Engineers' Institute strike of 1947,[5] it was spun off as a general union of employers under the Trade Unions Ordinance.[3] The federation is represented at International Labour Organization meetings.[1][6]
Its members employ more than 1 million workers[7] and mainly come from the trading and distribution, and the professional and business services sectors.[6] Members include AIA, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club.[6] It aims to both assist employers in various industries them in achieving harmonious labour relations, and also to lobby on labour-related public policies,[3] although it very rarely engages in collective bargaining as its policy is to leave industrial negotiations to its individual members.[3]
