(UTV|COLOMBO) – Railway Trade Unions have decided to launch a 2-day strike of railway services from midnight today (26) over several demands.
Irregularities in the grading system are the reason behind the proposed strike, said Indika Dodangoda, Secretary of Locomotive Engineering Operators’ Union (LEOU).
Train engineering operators, regulators, station masters, supervisors and officials of the Control and Rail Supervision Management Services will be joining the strike, he added.
However discussions between railway authorities and trade unions will be held this morning.
