GMOA ends strike

The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) yesterday announced that their 24-hour token strike will be called off at 08.00 a.m. today (16). Media Spokesperson of the GMOA, Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe said they had taken that decision in response to a series of proposals, submitted by the Presidential Secretariat to the Professionals’ Trade Union Alliance (PTUA). He said that PTUA was of the opinion that a continuous strike would inconvenience the public.

More than 40 trade unions staged a general strike yesterday,
