November 18, Colombo (LNW): The Government Medical Officers’ Association signalled that its industrial action would carry on through today (18), insisting that authorities have yet to offer a meaningful response to the issues the union has raised.
A group of senior representatives from the association had travelled to the Presidential Secretariat earlier in the day for what was expected to be a decisive round of discussion.
The talks, held under the direct supervision of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, brought together several high-ranking figures from the union in an effort to break the stalemate.
However, participants close to the negotiations suggested that progress remained sluggish, with both sides attempting to narrow gaps on long-standing concerns such as staffing shortages and stalled professional allowances.
