Railway trade unions call off strike

Railway trade unions have decided to call off their token strike scheduled to be held from midnight today, demanding a solution for their salary anomalies. 

The Railways Professional Trade Union Alliance stated that they had reached the decision to temporarily call off the strike action after authorities had agreed to discuss the issue tomorrow (23). 

Several railway trade unions were to take part in the token strike claiming that earlier discussions on the matter have been futile.

 

However when inquired, Transport Minister Kumar Welgama had stated that discussions were currently underway with trade unions regarding the matter.
