Alignment
As an interest party for the workers in the casinos, the Linha de Frente dos Trabalhadores de Casinos, for example, demands that the workers receive more vacation . In addition to a general annual leave of 22 days and a working week of five working days , it is also required that paternity leave of five days and maternity leave of 90 days must be paid. In addition, the casinos should pay the workers night allowances, which is due, for example, to childcare services . A particularly important goal of the party is the introduction of a strict smoking ban in the casinos, which must be ensured around the clock. In addition, the Macau government should draft a trade union law on the spot. In order to secure the employment relationships of the residents of Macau, casinos are to be banned from importing workers from outside.
With its demands for more employee rights in the casinos, the Linha de Frente dos Trabalhadores de Casinos is in opposition to the Macau government, which is close to the pro-Beijing camp . Since this with its socialism with Chinese characteristics represents many economically liberal views in the interests of employers , it is opposed to the Linha de Frente dos Trabalhadores de Casinos. Nevertheless, the party cannot be assigned to the pro-democracy camp , since in addition to economic opposition there would also have to be an opposition to the lack of democratization of Macau by the Macau government. The Linha de Frente dos Trabalhadores de Casinos, however, does not take a position on the introduction of universal suffrage for the election of Macau's head of government or on other democratization demands of the pro-democracy camp.
