The 1984 MTR Strikes were two industrial actions affecting the MTR Corporation, responsible for administering the MTR in Hong Kong. The first strike lasted from January 24 to 26, ending with the recognition of the Mass Transit Railway Operating Department Staff Union.[1] Conflict over working rules led to an April 9 union vote approving a second strike.[2] In the second strike, the MTR used supervisors to operate trains and dismissed those striking workers who would not return to work.[3] While the vast majority of workers returned and were rehired with penalties, some held responsible were not rehired.[4]
