Health minister hopes the unions will end the strike

Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella says he is hopeful that the health workers on strike will call off their trade union action, in compliance with the enjoining order issued by the court.

Last evening, the District Court of Colombo issued two enjoining orders against the Government Nursing Officers’ Association and its chairman Saman Ratnapriya calling for the immediate suspension of their trade union action.

He had filed action against the said union and its chairman, seeking an enjoining order from the court to immediately suspend the trade union action of the said association.
