Railway strike on December 26th?

December 12, 2018   12:50 pm

Railway Trade Unions have decided to launch a 48-hour token strike from midnight of 26th of December, says the Locomotive Engineering Operators’ Union (LEOU).

LEOU Secretary Indika Dodangoda stated that they arrived at this decision as a proper solution was not provided for their issues regarding salaries.

Railway Trade Unions accuse that even the committee appointed to fix the salary issues didn’t provide a proper solution.

Dondangoda further stated that although they requested for a discussion with President Maithripala Sirisena with this regard, they haven’t been given an opportunity as of yet.
