The workers have attracted many supporters among student unions and pro-democracy parties in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Federation of Students have organised donation and supply collection points outside major train stations.
Hong Kong's pro-democracy Labour Party is also supporting the strike, in which the party's chairman Lee Cheuk-yan is also the leader of the Confederation of Trade Unions and organiser of the strike.

The union was paying the striking workers (HK)$1,000 per day, and was encouraged to have gained the support of the International Trade Union Confederation.
Lee Cheuk-yan expressed confidence that "the strike will not be easily displaced.".
Sympathisers have been making donations to support the workers, and union's fund reached US$645,000 on 16 April 2013, sufficient for union members' lost wages only for about 10 days.

On 7 April, protesters marched from Victoria Park to Central carrying placards and modified images of Li Ka-shing's with devil's horns and the Chinese character for "monster" (妖) written across his forehead.
Organisers said that 4,000 demonstrators joined the march; police estimated 2,800 at its peak.
The Liberal Party's youth committee chairman criticised the CTU for politicising the dispute.
