Decisive talks over planned trade union action by health unions
The Health Trade Union Alliance said a crucial discussion will be held on Moday (12) between the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health and the official committee comprising members of health unions.
Co-Convener Ravi Kumudesh said a decision will be reached regarding future trade union action based on the decisions reached during the discussion.
He said they will launch a massive strike on Tueday (13) if they do not receive favourable solutions to their issues.
Members of 72 health unions went on strike on two occasions demanding that the Rs.35,000 allowance granted to doctors be given to them as well.
The All Ceylon Nurses' Union is also preparing to launch trade union action, over failure to provide solutions to their issues.
