[ 沒原由的解僱,無從追討的公義 ]
Kay(化名)永遠不會忘記,那平淡如常的一天,突然收到公司電話,把她召回人事部。
當刻背脊一涼,心知不妙,噩運找上門,而那噩運叫作政治審查,別名以言入罪:「全公司咁多員工,心諗機會應該好微?但原來真係會中⋯⋯無人可以倖免。」
Kay是國泰航空的機艙事務長,任職近十三年,是最近因「篤灰」事件被解僱的其中一員。
打從8月開始,逆權運動的戰線,由街頭蔓延至航空業——沒有催淚彈胡椒噴霧及警棍,那危險肉眼看不見,一樣手起刀落,殺人於無形:8月9日中國民航局向國泰發出「重大安全風險」命令,要求將「參與和支持非法遊行示威、暴力衝擊活動,以及有過過激行為的人員」停職。
其後國泰將兩名分別被控暴動罪及「不當使用企業信息」的員工解僱;至8月16日,國泰英籍行政總裁何杲(Rupert Hogg)辭職,理由為「對公司近月面對的事件負責」。
事態不斷發酵,8月20日,消息指曾在國泰航班上公開鼓勵「香港人加油,萬事小心」的機師已經離職;任職國泰機師18年的立法會議員譚文豪於同日傍晚宣佈辭職,「希望這場航空界政治風暴能夠至我而止」。
然而事實是陸續有來:前港龍航空公司空勤人員協會主席施安娜於8月21日被管理層召見,確認三張被舉報的截圖乃擷取自其臉書,之後當場被解僱。
這只屬序幕,國泰在8月28日發出內部通告,稱公司不會容忍員工參與非法活動,並鼓勵同事互相舉報「不當行為」。
篤灰行動正式啟動,懷疑因發表政見而被炒掉的員工,包括Kay;儘管她已先知先覺,在收到公告後已把涉及反送中運動的敏感內容刪去,還是未能避過一劫。
跟施安娜的情況大同小異,當時管理層向她展示三張截圖,一張是其家居生活照,另一張是她分享反送中動畫的內容;而最後一張,也許亦是最致命的,關於香港警察向市民施以暴力的言論。
同樣地,一封解僱信交到她手裡——理由繼續不能透露,雖然已經不言而喻。
Kay坦言那一刻像被判死刑,絕望在於那荒謬和不合情理。「就好似你返到屋企,但係個屋企已經變晒,完全認唔出。」
她說的屋企,是她人生第一份長工,本來打算一直做至退休。「這份工不會給我很多錢,但能夠讓我保持一種理想的lifestyle,別的工作給予不到。」
讓她最心碎的,不是解僱本身,而是國泰處理被裁員工的手法:「極度欠缺尊重,簡直近乎侮辱。」
有空姐在上課途中被緊急召見,眾目睽睽下被帶走;而Kay遭解僱當刻,人事部馬上貼身「護送」她執拾個人物品,直到離開公司大樓為止。
「連跟相熟同事親自講聲再見都不行。我犯了什麼大錯,要受這種對待?」
更誇張的是,有空中服務員已飛抵外地執勤,但由於被舉報,公司寧可不怕麻煩安排調更,也要將未經調查的涉事者即時停職。「可以說是不惜工本。你會知道公司有多小心,懼怕得罪民航局!」
憑著蛛絲馬跡,她能夠推斷誰把她舉報,而那人說不上朋友,非工作上的競爭對手,亦不曾結怨:「只在6年前共事過一次。我相信她真心覺得這是『正義』,為民除害。」
當政見立場成為原罪,今天的國泰已人人自危:員工紛紛改掉臉書名字,刪走與政治有關的發帖,工作間絕口不提社會現況,因為身邊每個人都有可能把你出賣。
較為意外的是,一直以據理力爭著名的國泰空中服務員工會,在今次事件相對沉默?「那是因為工會剛好在換屆,未能即時接手處理。」Kay解釋。
這段期間,有人向職工盟求助,有人徵詢律師意見;現在工會巳完成組閣,正在把零零星星的個案組織起來,跟進事態發展。
當律師逐一向求助者了解:你想爭取甚麼?更合理賠償?公司的一個道歉?
答案因人而異,Kay說最不可思議是到了這個田地,竟然有同事仍存一線希望,不久將來或者可以復職。
「假如不是超級珍惜份工,也不會傻到願意重新接受這間公司吧。」
換個角度,即使篤灰事件沒有發生,她也不肯定自己能夠繼續若無其事地上班。「有一天公司要你先唱國歌才可上機執勤,咁點算好?有同事還說要恭喜我呢,早走早著,重過新生!」
那麼作為首批受害人,她想要討回什麼公道?
「如果只能爭取一種賠償,我想追討的是公義,沒有其他。反正生活方式你還不到給我。」
一臉倦容的Kay,說著這一句,眼神回復堅定,毋須fact check,沒任何猶豫。

【專題訪問 Interview Feature】2019年度香港大學學生會周年大選中央幹事會候選常務祕書麥嘉晉訪問 | Interview with Mak Ka Chun Eugene, the Proposed General Secretary of Executive Committee, The Hong Kong University Students’ Union of Annual Election 2019
(Please scroll down for English version.)
麥嘉晉同學以一人莊姿態參選中央幹事會常務祕書一職,為除候選內閣「蒼傲」外,另一參選周年大選中央幹事會席位的單位。麥同學接受本台訪問,就其一人內閣的理念、參選原因、和自身網上流出片段解話,並就反對香港獨立及支持訂立國歌法作闡述。
訪問節錄如下:
1. 對常務祕書一職的了解?
我並不對常務祕書,即香港大學學生會中央幹事會的常務祕書的職責有太清楚的認識。
2. 為何參選常務祕書而非其他職位?
我參選常務祕書的原因是因為我認為自己並不能勝任主席(正確名稱應為會長)一職,我是一個小心、心思細密的人,能力主要在於常務祕書方面。
3. 你認為自己被釣狗公及流出不雅影片會否對選情有影響?
對於這件事,我明白大家對我有負面印象,我希望向對我有負面印象的人道歉,因為我令到香港大學的聲譽受損。但這件事也令到有些人認識了我,客觀而言,他們都會明白這是一個失誤,並知道這事並不影響我的政治理念或影響我向他們服務。我亦明白有人會因這件事對我有負面印象,我會努力透過選舉工程爭取選民對我的信心。
(參考資料:[有圖]求智囊團撚狗公 https://lihkg.com/t/640617/1?ref=android )
4. 你心目中學生會的立場是?
我們必須多考慮多角度及不同持份者的意見才作出表態,所以我不能肯定有幸當選後會作出什麼取態。我個人不太熱衷於政治方面,在大部分議題方面我的路線比較中間偏左。
5. 你為何決定單獨參選?
因為即使我未能組成內閣,我都希望做到我參選的目的,就是希望令人看到香港大學學生會並非像外界看來激進。我希望能令人看到香港大學的學生並不是只得一種思路,大家都有獨立思想,所以即使只有一人亦會參選。
6. 假若四位候選幹事同事當選,如何處理意見分歧?
如果日後四位候選人有幸一同當選,但就不同議題有相反意見的話,我認為政治取態並非港大學生會惟一職務,其他職務例如學生會組織的行政事務、和為學生提供福利、服務學生等等。所以我認為並不會單因為取態不同而辭職,其他事項不可以置之不理。
7. 你的政治光譜/政治立場是什麼?
我個人本身並不太熱衷於參與政治方面,在大部分議題我的立場傾向於中間偏左。
8. 你可否用香港的政治組織/政治人物代表自己?
個人而言我並不激進,所以我認為以前的民主黨可能比較能反映我現在的立場。如果從人物方面我認為湯家驊先生可能比較能反映到我,因為湯家驊先生和我一樣是比較會從多角度處事的人,其次他比較冷靜,不會草率進行評論和反應,而他亦不會就所有事情有既定立場,對不合理或不認該支持的事情他不會基於他泛民主派的立場而違背自己的理念,所以湯家驊先生及以前的公民黨會比較能反映和接近我的政治立場。
9. 你對初一事件的看法?
暫時可見旺角暴動或年初一事件方面,很多人都不太願意承擔自己的責任,而我認為很多參加者都罔顧了香港大眾的聲音和理念,亦危害了其他人的安全,我個人並不支持或同意這件事,如有人對這方面有意見的話,我希望大家能以理性方法表達意見。
10. 你是否支持香港獨立?
首先我不同意和不支持香港獨立。對於香港獨立我有幾點要回應。我不支持香港獨立的原因是因為,我認為香港多年來和中國有關係,香港在多方面亦須要中國的幫助,不論是經濟、社會、還是政策配套,我們都必須和中國有緊密連繫。當然我有不同意中國的政策,如對言論自由的打壓和對人權的打壓等,但我認為不應因反對中國而原全斷絕關係,始終歷史上我們和中國有非常緊密的聯繫,不可以因一些事去全盤否定中國,同時我認為香港獨立在法律上並不合法,所以我不會支持這種不合法的東西出現。因為香港獨立並不合法再加上這事並不合適,所以我並不支持香港獨立。但我認為可在可容許的空間內討論,例如學術層面或政治方面,我認為只要不鼓吹港獨,單純理性討論是可容許的,因為這是一種思想,而思想應可被討論。
11. 你是否同意訂立國歌法?
我認為國歌法的立法原意合理,並且應該,大家只要願意去尊重國歌和願意為自己的行為負責,我認為國歌法的立法有應該要的,因為我認為應尊重國歌。除了利用國歌表達意見外,還有很多意見表達的方式,雖然國歌法有機會收窄了大家的言論自由,但大家仍有其他對中國表達意見的渠道,所以我認為國歌法的影響並非如此誇張。
12. 你是否同意就廿三條法?
暫時短期而言不該對廿三條立法,但如果日後香港社會出現了嚴重的安全問題,而現時的法律制度未能控制,我認為廿三條立法......未必是廿三條立法,但應保障社會安全,加強執法,修改現有法律去增強它的權力、增強它的阻嚇性,希望能保障社會的安全。
Mak Ka Chun Eugene is running as a one-man cabinet in the Annual Election 2019. He is another candidate unit running for a seat in the Union’s Executive Committee, besides Prism, the proposed Cabinet of Executive Committee, The Hong Kong University Students’ Union in Annual Election 2019. Campus TV has interviewed with Mak, with regards to his vision of a one-man cabinet, the reason to run as candidate, and the leakage of his personal videos; he has also elaborated on his disagreeing with Hong Kong independence and supporting the enactment of the National Anthem Bill.
The interview excerpts are as follows:
1. What is your understanding of the post of General Secretary?
I might not have too clear of an understanding about the post of General Secretary, i.e. the duties of the General Secretary of Executive Committee, The Hong Kong University Students’ Union.
2. Why did you choose to run for the post of the General Secretary out of other posts?
The reason for running for the General Secretary is because I do not believe I have what it takes to assume the post of the Chairperson (the correct title should be: “President”). I am a rather careful and meticulous person, and my abilities are more in line with the area of the General Secretary, such as word/ document processing, and handling emails.
3. Do you think your incident* about being exposed as a womanizer, and the leakage of your explicit videos have an impact on your election campaign?
I understand that I have left a negative impression on some people from this incident; I would like to apologize to these people, because I have scathed the reputation of the University as a student of the University. In addition, this incident has made me known to public. Objectively speaking, some might consider the incident as a mistake, and that it would not affect my political stance or my service to them (members of the Students’ Union). Meanwhile, I do recognize that this incident has created a negative impression of myself, I will try my best to gain the trust of people from my election campaign.
*Mak Ka Chun Eugene was allegedly exposed as a womanizer, some explicit photos and videos of Mak in a conversation have been leaked by an anonymous account onto Lihkg, a public forum in Hong Kong.
4. What is the position of the Students’ Union in your eyes?
We should take into considerations the various perspectives and stakeholders’ opinions before declaring a stance, therefore I am not sure what I will be standing for should I be elected. Personally, I am not too keen on politics, but I would say that for most issues, I take more of a centre-left position.
5. Why did you decide to run as an independent candidate?
Despite not having formed a cabinet, I wish to fulfill my election aim: I hope to show the society how The Hong Kong University Students’ Union is not as radical and one-sidedly biased as how the society perceives it to be. I hope people could see that the Union has not only one path of thinking, everybody has individual thinking. Therefore, I would run as candidate even if I am doing so alone.
6. Should four proposed candidates of the Executive Committee be elected, how would discrepancy of views be dealt with?
If all four candidates have the honour to be elected, and have disparate views on issues, I think (acting on one’s) political views is not the Union’s only duty, there are other duties including administrative work, representing students, providing students’ welfare etc. Therefore, I do not think I would resign solely over a discrepancy on political views, other duties should not be neglected.
7. Where do you stand on the political spectrum? / How would you define your political stance?
I am not too keen on politics, but I would say that for most issues, I take more of a centre-left position.
8. Could you use a political group or a political figure in Hong Kong to represent yourself?
I think it is quite difficult to say, because Hong Kong’s politics has been so polarizing. Personally, I do not consider myself radical (politically), so I think the earlier Democratic Party better represents my current stance. In terms of a political figure, I think Mr Ronny Tong Ka-wah can better represent me, because like Tong, I know how to handle matters from multiple perspectives. Besides, Tong is a rather collected politician, he knows not to carelessly react and comment; he does not hold a predetermined stance towards issues, and he does not let his pan-democratic background dictate his views on matters that he thinks are unreasonable or not deserving of his support. Therefore, Mr Ronny Tong Ka-wah and the earlier Democratic Party is better proximate and representative of my political stance.
9. What are your views on the Mong Kok Incident in 2016?
What I observe currently about the Mong Kok Riot, or my apologies, it should be the Mong Kok Incident, is that many people are unwilling to bear responsibility for their actions, and I think a lot of the participants (of the incident) were rather reckless and negligent in considering the majority of Hong Kong’s opinion, they have also harmed the safety of many. I personally do not support nor agree with this action. However, I believe all voices should be heard, if anyone has an opinion on an issue, I hope they can convey them in a rational manner.
10. Do you support Hong Kong independence?
Firstly, I do not agree with nor support Hong Kong independence, but I think that the idea itself can be discussed on an academic or political level, as long as we are not encouraging the actualisation of it, we can have purely theoretical discussion because it is like any other thought or ideology that can be discussed. In response to Hong Kong independence, I have a few points to raise.
I do not support Hong Kong independence because I think that Hong Kong has established long years of relationship with China, Hong Kong needs the support of China in multiple areas, no matter economic, social, or policy-wise. We should always have a close connection to China. Certainly, I do not agree with all of China’s policies, for example the oppression of freedom of speech and of human rights, but I do not think we should cut ties with China entirely based on these disagreements. Ultimately, China and we have had a very close affiliation historically. At the same time, I think that Hong Kong independence is not legally justified, so I would not support such an illegal action. Because Hong Kong independence is not legal and not suitable, I do not support it.
11. Do you agree with the enactment of the National Anthem Bill?
I think the motive of the enacting the National Anthem Bill is justified, and (the act) should be encouraged. As long as everyone is willing to respect the national anthem and to bear responsibility for their own actions, I think the enactment of the National Anthem Bill is necessary, because I respect the national anthem. Besides using the national anthem as a form of self-expression (of political opinions or views), there are many other ways to communicate an opinion. Although freedom of speech might be harmed under the enactment of the bill, there are still other methods to convey our opinions about China, so I do not foresee the effect of the National Anthem Bill to be as severe as it is portrayed to be.
12. Do you agree with the enactment of Article 23?
Currently and in the short run, Article 23 should not be enacted. However, if Hong Kong experiences a problem of safety in the future, one that the current legal system has no power to control, I think that it may call for Article 23… not necessarily Article 23, but an enhanced enforcement of the law, the law should be amended to strengthen its power and deterring functions to ensure the safety of our society.
