Railways to come to a halt: Engine drivers to strike from midnight

Railway Engine Drivers are to commence an indefinite strike from midnight today based on several demands. They announced their decision after talks with Deputy Transport Minister Ashok Abeysinghe held today morning failed. 

Secretary of the Locomotive Engineering Operators’ Union (LEOU) Indika Dodangoda says the authorities have failed to fulfil their promises on resolving railway workers’ concerns.

Meanwhile, the Ceylon Electricity Board Engineers’ Union (CEBEU) has also decided to resort to trade union action from today.

CEBEU Chairman Saumya Kumarawadu said that they will commence a work-to-rule industrial action this evening.
