Talks fail: Station Masters to continue trade union action
Railway Station Masters’ Association today decided to continue with their trade union action including a decision to refrain from issuing tickets to passengers.
Though the station masters were due to go on strike last night, the President of the Association Sumedha Somaratne said the final decision would be taken today afternoon.
However, after the meeting with Railway authorities, they decided that they will continue with the trade union action as they could not find a suitable solution.
He said for the moment they will also refrain from accepting parcels in addition to not issuing tickets, but may step up trade union action after a central committee meeting later in the day.
Among the demands are resolving an overtime issue and seeking of an allowance if the promotions due to them are not granted. They also want the Railway department to rectify shortcomings in the railway system.
