Former and current employees of Christian Zheng Sheng College, a school for rehabilitating drug addicts, have turned to Hong Kong’s court for labour disputes in a bid to claim unpaid wages amidst police accusations of fraud against the charity’s directors.
Dennis Yeung King-yin, a former teacher at the college, along with five others filed documents at the Labour Tribunal in Jordan seeking resolution on the unpaid salaries issue.
The college, established in 1985 to aid teenagers battling drug addiction or under probation, made headlines earlier when directors were arrested for allegedly misappropriating funds.
Yeung, owed wages since March and long service payment, emphasized the urgency of resolving the issue to move forward. The college’s future operations remain uncertain after police froze the charity’s accounts.
