Colombo (LNW): Postal workers across the island will continue an island-wide token strike today (11), confirmed the Joint Convener of the Joint Postal Trade Union Collective, Chinthaka Bandara.
The strike has been initiated in protest against the sale of Department of Posts buildings to foreign companies, a move that has garnered support from 27,000 postal workers.
The collective stance also includes a demand for a Rs.20,000 allowance for government employees starting January 2024.
The nationwide postal strike, which commenced at 4:00 pm on Sunday (10), is slated to persist until midnight on Tuesday (12).
