COLOMBO : Postal trade unions have decided to call off their strike action following discussions held with the Minister of Health and Media.
Speaking at a press briefing in Colombo following talks with Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, the trade union representatives announced that they have decided to end the strike with immediate effect.
A special discussion was held today (24) between the representatives of postal department trade unions engaged in the strike and the Minister of Health and Mass Media, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa.
The trade union action was launched on Sunday (17) by several postal unions, including the Postal and Telecommunications Officers’ Union and the United Postal Trade Unions’ Front (UPTUF), citing 19 unresolved demands.
The strike has continued for the seventh consecutive day today. As a result, postal operations across the island had been severely affected, with services in many post offices coming to a standstill. People who came to obtain postal services have also faced significant difficulties over the past 7 days.
