Dr. Naveen de Zoysa, Assistant Secretary of the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) says that his union will not give its full support to the island-wide one day token strike against the President and the government today (28).
Accordingly, the doctors of his union are reporting for duty today and will only support protests near hospitals, he said.
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) was at the forefront of the trade unions that made the highest contribution to bringing the current President and the government to power. Anuruddha Padeniya, the President of the Government Medical Officers’ Association was also one of the figures behind the ban on chemical fertilizers which brought a catastrophic fate to the country.
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has stated on its official Facebook page that it does not fully support the largest strike in Sri Lanka today, which is being attended by about 1,000 unions.
