Several trade unions from the essential services sector, including power, petroleum, water, ports, and banks, will engage in a one-day strike on Wednesday, 1st March 2023.
The one-day strike action is being planned to protest the government’s new tax policy, alongside other issues.
The trade unionists have called on the government to take responsibility for the inconvenience caused to the public due to the strike action tomorrow.
The trade union of the Bank of Ceylon has extended its support for the strike action, while 18 state and private banks are set to join the strike action.
However, the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) will announce its decision on whether or not it will join the strike by 12.00 pm today. (NewsWire)
