The Fisheries Ministry has run into a crisis over the loss making Ceylon Fisheries Corporation with an over staffing issue and workers demanding that Government offers them compensation by selling the premises of the corporation.
Fisheries Minister Mahinda Amaraweera told the Sunday Times that the Ministry had offered a Voluntary Retirement Scheme, but only 105 workers had agreed to accept the scheme.

He said that workers have pointed out that if the State did not have money to pay them adequate compensation, the Government should sell the CFC premises located at Modera and pay compensation.
He said discussions are underway on how to resolve the matter.
