If the government doesn’t take immediate action to provide solutions for their issues, they will take stricter trade union action in the future, say postal trade unions.
Union of Post and Telecommunication Officers Sri Lanka engaged in a token strike from midnight on 3rd June.
Union General Secretary H. K. Kariyawasam says that although the strike will end at midnight today (05), if the response for their demands are not satisfactory, they will engage in a strike again.
Postal services weren’t deeply affected despite the strike, according to the Post-master General Rohana Abeyratne.
He points out that only minor interruption had occurred due to the strike.
Meanwhile, water supply of several areas have been disrupted due to the trade union action engaged by the Water Board employees, says Upali Ratnayake, Convener of Water Supply Trade Union Joint Alliance.
