Expressway Ticket Counter Personnel Commence Strike Over Demands

Date:

The All Ceylon Expressway Employees Union, led by Chairman Hasitha Munasinghe, initiated a strike at 7 AM on Wednesday (22), impacting the operations of the Expressway Ticket Counters. Munasinghe highlighted that the strike stemmed from various grievances, notably pension-related concerns among others.

Despite the walkout by ticket counter employees, the Road Development Authority (RDA) assured the public that the strike would not disrupt traffic flow along the expressway. L. V. S. Weerakoon, Director General of the RDA, confirmed that armed forces personnel have been deployed to safeguard the expressway. Additionally, military personnel will step in to manage the ticket issuance process, ensuring continuity of service despite the strike action.
