Billionaire Li Ka-shing moved to end a four-week strike at his docks in Hong Kong, hiring new workers to handle ships and demanding protesters leave his building in the city’s Central District.
The new workers and the return of some strikers to work has cut the waiting time for ships to an average 20-to-25 hours, compared with about 60 hours when the strike started, Hongkong International Terminals Ltd. said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The docks are operating at about 90 percent of capacity.
