Three day strike in the offing - Lal Kantha
Lal Kantha warned a three day strike in the near future and said that they would begin to strengthen their support in work places from next Monday. Speaking to the media this morning (July 15th), he said at previous day\'s talks with trade unions, it was also decided to continue with union action until all their demands are met.
The NTUC agreed to prepare a petition with one million signatures and hand it over to President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
From July 21st, a series of meetings, starting from the Colombo National Hospital, will prepare workplaces in the state, private and plantation sectors for the planned work stoppage, Mr. Lal Kantha said.
According to him, Jirath Gamage of the Government United Labour Union, Lienus Jayatilake of the United Workers Union and Neil Wijetilake of the Cooperative Employees Union have agreed to go for a collective action to win their common demands.
Further discussions would take place with trade unions affiliated to the Jathika Sevaka Sangamaya and the Trade Unions Federation to decide the joint course of action.
Suggestions would be sought from private bus owners, trishaw drivers, school and staff transport services as well, he added.
