Trade unions are staging a countrywide one-day strike tomorrow (01), which they have declared as a day of national protest against the government tax policy.
More than 100 TUs are taking part, said Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) spokesman Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe, adding that his association will decide its own action at a meeting today.
The fight will continue until the government withdraws its tax policy, he said.
Leader of port workers union Prasanna Kalutarage said petroleum, electricity TUs too, would take part in the work stoppage.
