Trade unions call-off countrywide strikes

Trade Union Coordinating Centre (TUCC) Wasantha Samarasinghe yesterday said they have decided to call off the countrywide strike actions. 

A host of trade unions resorted to a continuous strike action on Monday (9) to express their displeasure with the ruling party for unleashing its supporters who brutally attacked peaceful protesters at Galle Face.

Sri Lanka Administrative Service Association (SASA), the Station Masters’ Union, CEB Joint Trade Union Alliance, the trade unions of teachers and principals, all trade unions affiliated with the health sector and many others had pledged support for the countrywide strike.
