On Tuesday (29), the Railway Station Masters’ Union warned that they will launch a strike action starting from midnight today (30), if their demands are not met during the discussion with the subject minister.

The union decided to launch an immediate trade union action, over issues pertaining to the post of Railway Station Master.

However, President of the association Sumedha Somaratne mentioned that they arrived at this decision since no favorable response has been received from the authorities pertaining to issues of the Railway Station Masters including promotions, despite repeated demands.
