Striking dock workers on Tuesday morning rejected an ultimatum sent by their employers demanding that they return to work and end their protest outside the Kwai Chung Container Terminal.
The strike by the dock workers for higher pay has entered its sixth day with no signs of it easing.
Last night, port operators won an injunction against 14 unionists and other unauthorised demonstrators from entering or occupying the port site.
The strikers and their supporters complied with the court injunction, left the site and this morning set up their new camp, including tents, just outside the port site.
The contractors who employ the dock workers on behalf of the port operators earlier threatened to sack them if they did not return to work by Tuesday noon. But up to 100 workers opted to continue the strike.
One worker said he would continue the protest until the contractors agreed to give them a 17 per cent pay rise.
