Collective of unions to hold national day of protests on Wednesday

The collective of unions and mass organisations has decided to declare the 20th of this month as a national day of protest and to mobilise the working masses who will continue to strike in the workplace.

President of the Federation of Health Professionals, Ravi Kumudesh on behalf of the Collective of Trade Unions and Mass Organizations said all trade unions in Sri Lanka would be working in unison with the collective.

He said that the trade unions and the mass organisations had decided to make an unconditional contribution to the victory of the people’s struggle.

The Collective of Trade Unions and Mass Organisations staged a protest march on Saturday starting in front of the Lake House building to Galle Face where thousands of protesters dug in for the eighth consecutive day demanding the resignation of the President.
