Luke Ching, a 52-year-old worker at McDonald's in Hong Kong, undertook menial job tasks primarily as a form of research for his artistic activism aimed at improving conditions for low-wage workers. His efforts faced a setback when he was fired after advocating for reinstating paid meal breaks. Ching, unyielding in his pursuit, emphasizes the right of employees to express their concerns. His combination of art and activism has drawn both support and criticism, raising awareness about workplace inequalities in a city characterized by significant income disparity.
For Mr. Ching, the part-time job was not about financial survival but rather an exploration of labor rights through art, aiming to amplify voices of the marginalized.
Mr. Ching's abrupt dismissal from McDonald's after advocating for paid meal breaks highlights persistent workplace injustices, reflecting broader socio-political challenges in Hong Kong.
