‘Drastic changes’ to major Hong Kong union
Hong Kong’s largest teachers’ union is disbanding due to ‘drastic changes’ in the local environment
The union, which represents 95-thousand members, says it has come under “huge pressure” and was forced to make the “tough and unwanted decision”.
Its chairman says there is “quite a huge crisis” in Hong Kong” and “we cannot cope.”
Chinese state-run media says the union was breaching Hong Kong’s national security law, and is disbanding because of “drastic changes in the social and political environment.”
The union will stop recruitment and membership renewals, and will also no longer comment or participate in social events.
Its 200 staff will be laid off and the union’s asset estates sold.

Trump’s approval rating hits lowest point amid concerns
Trump’s approval plummets to 38% amid cost of living concerns and Epstein files backlash
Trump’s approval plummets to 38% amid cost of living concerns and Epstein files backlash
– Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38% due to concerns over costs and the Epstein investigation.
– Only 26% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of everyday expenses amidst rising inflation.
Poll findings show Trump’s overall approval has declined two points since early November. He began his second term with a 47% approval rating, now nearing lows seen during his first term. Biden’s approval fell as low as 35%, reflective of economic discontent.
Republican Support Wanes
Trump’s approval rating among Republican voters is now 82%, a decrease from 87% earlier this month. The perception that he is not adequately addressing living costs is a significant concern, contributing to reduced popularity among constituents. Notably, only 20% approve of Trump’s handling of the Epstein case, with 70% believing the government is withholding information.
Trump’s economic strategy, which included tax increases on imports, has been criticized for contributing to rising prices. As midterm elections approach, his declining popularity may pose challenges for Republican candidates in upcoming races.
