The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) has called for international support of the democracy movement in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) is the independent democratic labour movement of Hong Kong, with 85 affiliated unions representing more than 170,000 workers.
