Postal TUs to strike on March 18 over unresolved sector issues

Date:

March 10, Colombo (LNW): Postal trade unions have declared their intention to launch a strike on March 18 in response to ongoing grievances that have yet to be addressed by authorities within the postal sector.

The decision to strike was announced by Manjula Jayasundara, Secretary of the Postal and Telecommunication Services Union, who confirmed that all major postal unions have united in their stance, citing the authorities’ failure to resolve long-standing issues affecting workers.

Among the primary concerns raised by the unions are problems with employee recruitment, appointments, promotions, and the lack of adequate salary increments.

These issues have been a source of frustration for postal workers, who have been advocating for better working conditions and fairer treatment for some time.

Jayasundara further revealed that the unions had previously engaged in discussions with the Postmaster General to find solutions to these challenges.

However, as no tangible measures or commitments were made to address the workers’ concerns, the unions have reluctantly decided to take more assertive action in the form of a strike.

The planned industrial action is expected to disrupt postal services across the country, as unions prepare to mobilise their members in protest.

The unions have warned that if their demands continue to be ignored, they may escalate their actions further in the coming weeks.
