The Sri Lanka Customs Officers’ Union is engaged in a two-day ‘sick leave’ campaign, over the failure of authorities to address their various demands.
Accordingly, the Sri Lanka Customs Officers’ Union will engage in a trade union action today (July 04) and tomorrow (July 05).
The Union claims that the campaign has been launched against the authorities’ arbitrary decision to introduce the Sri Lanka Revenue Authority (SLRA) Bill and make amendments to various sections of the Customs Ordinance.
Stating that a “work-to-rule” trade union action was held in the past two days due to discussions with authorities having failed on several occasions, the Union said the sick leave campaign was launched as authorities are yet to respond to their demands. (Newswire)
