June 26, 2017 01:15 pm
The Government Health Service Ambulance and Transport Drivers have decided to launch an island-wide 48-hour token strike.
Secretary to the association Amarananda Waduge said that the strike will be commenced at midnight tomorrow (27) and will continue until Wednesday.
The strike will be staged over several demands and against the decision to transfer health service drivers of the Western Province to another department, he said.
Waduge said that the decision was taken as the authorities have failed to address their issues and warned a continues strike would be launched from July 4.
