State university non-academic staff members are set to stage a two-day token strike to call for better pay and working conditions, citing pay stagnation since 2019.
According to Dhammika S. Priyantha, Co-President of University Trade Union Joint Committee, the strike will take place tomorrow (Feb. 28) and February 29.
