From the Paper:

"Chan has contributed much to an understanding of how the political climate in Hong Kong has devolved into a state of ideological divide where even employee unions have been co-opted by both sides of the political debate, those for more extensive economic and political integration with the Mainland and those for more democratic structures. As the author reveals, the result is there is less representation by unions for socio-economic advances that might actually benefit the individuals that they are supposed to represent as well as the population as a whole."
