The Government Radiological Technologists’ Association has decided to engage in an island-wide token strike based on several demands.
President of the Association Chanaka Dharmawickrama stated that the strike will be carried out for 24 hours, commencing at 8.00 a.m. on January 24.
Dharmawickrama said the decision to launch a strike was taken in protest against the failure of the Ministry of Health to conduct an impartial investigation into the conduct of the Deputy Director of the National Institute for Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation in Maligawatte.
President of the Association Chanaka Dharmawickrama added that although written notifications regarding the strike were submitted to the Ministry of Health on two occasions, a favorable response was not received and therefore the Association decided to proceed with the trade union action.
