June 27, Colombo (LNW): The Grama Niladhari Trade Union Alliance (GNTUA) has commenced a three-day strike, suspending their duties to protest the prolonged delay in addressing their demands.
The co-conveners of the alliance expressed frustration, noting that the government had swiftly resolved issues concerning administrative officers, while their own concerns have remained unaddressed for years.
“Our alliance has been discussing these issues for years, but solutions to our problems are continuously delayed,” they stated.
In response, the GNTUA began their strike on 26 June and will continue through 28 June.
The alliance has also decided not to work on weekends and special government holidays.
“If the government does not respond to our demands, the alliance will continue their strike at the district level,” they warned.
