Unauthorised company notices were circulated among staff of the “Big Four” accounting firms in Hong Kong on Friday, urging them to join the general strike planned on Monday to protest against the government’s handling of the recent unrest that has gripped the city.
Employees at KPMG, Deloitte, EY, and PwC received the notices from anonymous sources via email or WhatsApp.
Sources said employees at these companies have been receiving similar messages that used official company branding, format, colour and font, but have been sent without official authorisation.

The notices call for employees to strike on Monday and “stand for Hong Kong”, in line with action already planned for next week by 95 unions from the public and private sectors. Hundreds of workers at 34 banks said on Thursday that they would join the protests.
