國泰工會(FAU)賣廣告鬧四胞胎！？

撰文：王宇來（職工盟幹事）

話說上兩星期鬧得全城熱哄哄的國泰空中服務員勞資糾紛，還有後話！國泰航空空中服務員工會（FAU）在成功爭取後，想在報章上賣廣告，答謝支持勞工權益的市民及乘客支持。原來是一件大好事，啊！怎知結果出來，竟然成為一單鬧四胞胎的事件。

在幾份報章中只有刊登在蘋果日報、明報與am730的廣告是與工會Facebook上的原文相同外，其餘報章上聲明都有不同程度的改動。

東方日報
第一段：我們成功取回了被剝削的待遇→我們成功取回應得的待遇
第四段：並制止財團繼續無止境壓榨打工仔女→以保障打工仔女之權益

星島日報
第一段：我們成功取回了被剝削的待遇→我們成功取回應得的待遇
第二段：而香港經濟在大財團壟斷下→而香港經濟下
第四段：並制止財團繼續無止境壓榨打工仔女→（整句刪除）

SCMP
第三段：It was only with your support that we were able to win back our contractual rights→It was only with your support that we were able to protect our contractual rights

第五段：With that in mind, we urge Hong Kong S.A.R. Government to acknowledge the vital role played by “Collective Bargaining” in building bridges between employers and employees and to pass the bill to re-instate the legislation of Collective Bargaining Power which was removed by LegCo following the handover in 1997.→With that in mind, we acknowledge the vital role played by “Collective Bargaining” in building bridges between employers and employees. We sincerely hope that voices of all the workforce in Hong Kong could be equally heard.

由上面的改動可見尖銳及有針對性的字眼都被改動了，雖然答謝信最終是刊登了，但亦非原文一字不改地出街，相信對FAU來說多少也有點遺憾及無奈。

本以為新聞編撰有審查，是現今政治氣候下的常態，但估不到連付錢賣廣告也遭遇「河蟹」，否則就不做你生意，以免開罪廣告大戶和政府。曾經有不少空姐、空少都講過「方仗」好小氣，本來也不當一回事，但早前國泰總經理Dominic Perret被調職一事，多少引證也這一說法。至於背後有沒有發功，抑或是媒體自我約束就不得而知了。
