香港邮政工人因未获批准永久合同而批评政府的特别调动计划过于狭窄，呼吁提供更多与其经验匹配的岗位通道，例如技工和工匠职位。
Hong Kong postal workers denied permanent contracts have criticised a special government transfer scheme as too narrow, calling for more pathways into roles that match their experience, such as workman and artisan positions.
多名受影响工人周三向《南华早报》表示，政府提供的优惠措施支持力度不足，未能体现他们的技能或处境。
Several affected workers told the South China Morning Post on Wednesday that the concessions offered insufficient support and failed to reflect their skills or circumstances.
一名要求匿名的邮政工人表示，虽然政府为其他公务员岗位提供了优先录用机会，但合适的空缺非常有限。
One postal worker, who asked not to be named, said that while the government had offered priority hiring for other civil service jobs, suitable vacancies were limited.
“我查看了政府招聘系统；大多数职位空缺是医生、护士、飞机工程师和海军军官，这些岗位对邮政员工不适用，”他说。“我们拿不到录用通知。”他补充说，这导致大多数受影响工人只能申请两个文职等级的岗位。
“I checked the government vacancies system; most of the openings are for doctors, nurses, aircraft engineers and marine officers, which are not suitable for postal staff,” he said. “We cannot get an offer.”That left most affected workers with only two clerical grades to apply for, he added.
公务员事务局周二宣布，为受香港邮政成本削减措施影响的邮政员工推出一次性特别计划，允许他们申请助理文员或文员助理职位，学历要求放宽并享有录用优先权。
The Civil Service Bureau on Tuesday announced a one-off special scheme allowing postal staff affected by cost-cutting measures at Hongkong Post to apply for assistant clerical officer or clerical assistant posts with relaxed academic requirements and hiring priority.
如果他们在申请其他公务员岗位时得分相同，也将优先于其他候选人。
They will also be given priority over other candidates if they receive the same score in applications for other civil service jobs.
该措施旨在支持约200名因香港邮政财政困难而被拒绝提供永久公务员职位、仅获两年合同的员工。
The measures aim to support about 200 employees who were denied permanent civil service positions and offered only two-year contracts because of Hongkong Post’s financial difficulties.
尽管助理文员职位的最低学历要求已由中学文凭考试或香港中学会考的五科放宽至三科——中文、英文和数学——但许多工人仍觉得难以达标。
Although the minimum academic requirement for assistant clerical officer was relaxed from five subjects in the Diploma of Secondary Education exam or Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination to three – Chinese, English and mathematics – many workers still found it difficult to meet.
“我认为能通过中文、英文和数学但选科不及格的人很少，”该工人表示，质疑此次放宽的实际意义。
“I believe it is rare for someone to pass Chinese, English and mathematics but fail their electives,” the worker said, questioning how meaningful the relaxation was.
他计划申请文书助理职位，但敦促政府增加更适合邮政工人技能的岗位，例如工匠和交通协管员职位。
He planned to apply for a clerical assistant post, but urged the government to include more roles better suited to postal workers’ skills, such as artisan and traffic warden positions.
他说，即使可能面临降薪，他也不会介意，但更倾向于选择与自身经验更匹配的岗位。
He said he would not mind a possible pay cut, but preferred a role that better matched his experience.
根据该局网站信息，目前有18个职位正在招聘，包括对学历要求较低的岗位，例如渔农自然护理署的工匠职位和政府物流署的司机职位。
According to the bureau’s website, 18 positions are currently open for recruitment, including roles with lower educational requirements, such as artisan posts at the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and motor driver posts at the Government Logistics Department.
另一名工人对两个文书职级的激烈竞争表示担忧，指出超过200名受影响员工将不得不在公开招聘过程中与数千名其他申请人竞争。
Another worker expressed concern about intense competition for the two clerical grades, noting that more than 200 affected employees would have to compete with thousands of other applicants in an open recruitment process.
“政府一直全年招聘助理文书主任和文书助理。这是一项持续进行的工作，不是专门为我们量身定制的。这怎么能帮助我们？”他说。
“The government has been recruiting assistant clerical officers and clerical assistants all year round. It is an ongoing exercise, not tailor-made for us. How is this supposed to help us?” he said.
他补充说，目前只有一个选择可供选择，并呼应了政府应提供更多非文书岗位的诉求，包括技工和康乐助理职位。
He added that only one option was currently available and echoed calls for the government to offer more non-clerical roles, including workman and amenities assistant positions.
第三名工人表示，他担心自己在面试和技能测试中的竞争力，例如打字评估。根据该计划，候选人仍需通过这些测试和面试。
A third worker said he was anxious about his competitiveness in interviews and skills tests, such as typing assessments. Under the scheme, candidates must still pass such tests and interviews.
“如果政府能为我们找到更合适的岗位，比如工匠和技工岗位，那就更好了，”他说。
“It would be better if the government could find positions more suitable for us, such as artisan and workman roles,” he said.
“我们很多人都在三十多岁或四十多岁。如果现在转岗去做涉及打字的文书工作，我们的竞争力会比年轻人低。”他指出，两个文书职级的招聘可能需要长达一年时间，他担心如果未能拿到录用通知，自己在两年合同期内将几乎没有时间规划下一步发展。
“Many of us are in our thirties or forties. If we switch now to clerical work involving typing, we will be less competitive than younger people.”He noted that recruitment for the two clerical grades could take up to a year and worried that he would have little time left in his two-year contract to plan his next move if he failed to secure an offer.
香港邮政工会主席张伟权承认政府在回应一线员工关切方面所作的努力，称这些让步是一个良好的开端。
Hong Kong Postal Workers Union chairman Cheung Wai-kuen acknowledged the government’s efforts to respond to frontline concerns, calling the concessions a good start.
但他指出，一些员工未能达到两个职级的学历要求，而另一些员工则在通过文职技能测试方面遇到困难，例如打字测试。
But he noted that some employees did not meet the academic requirements for the two grades, while others struggled to pass clerical skills tests such as typing.
“部分同事的学历并不高，可能只是勉强达到了学历要求……而另一些同事已经年满四十多岁或五十出头，”张伟权说。
“Some colleagues do not have high educational qualifications and may only just meet the academic requirements … while some are already in their late forties or early fifties,” Cheung said.
“他们并不是不想申请这两个职级，而是可能无法达到标准。”张伟权呼吁制定进一步的特别计划，以满足他们的需求，提供更贴近邮政工作户外和体力性质的岗位，例如工人或小贩管制主任职位。
“It is not that they do not want to apply for these two grades, but they may be unable to meet the standards.”Cheung called for a further special scheme to cater to their needs, offering posts closer to the outdoor and physical nature of postal work, such as workman or hawker control officer positions.
工会将于下周与受影响的员工举行会议，并在收集他们的反馈后向局方提交建议。
The union will hold a meeting with affected employees next week and submit suggestions to the bureau after gathering their feedback.
