Convenor of the Health Trade Union Alliance – Chanaka Dharmawickrama has revealed that the trade union action, which was launched earlier this week by a collective of 72 health sector unions, will resume on Feb. 01.
He added that protest campaigns in front of hospitals island-wide, will commence from Jan. 23.
He further highlighted that while they are trying to minimize the burden imposed on patients as a result of their trade union action, these matters would resolve themselves if the state agreed to meet their demands, or promptly provide an alternate solution for their issues.
