GMOA to decide on strike at Thursday’s ex-co meeting
View(s):The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) says its executive committee will meet on Thursday to decide on further trade union action to force to Government to nationlise the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine.
GMOA Secretary Dr. Haritha Aluthge told the Sunday Times that ahead of the executive committee meeting, a Joint Trade Union Committee meeting had been scheduled for tomorrow to solicit the support of trade unions attached to health, petroleum, utility service and education sectors.
Last week, the GMOA threatened to launch an indefinite strike starting from Wednesday July 5, but postponed it after religious leaders urged the doctors’ union to put off the strike in view of the dengue epidemic spreading across the country.
