CPC unions threatening strike over alleged Trinco deal

News

Several Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) trade unions are threatening to launch an island-wide strike against an alleged decision by the government to sign an agreement with India regarding the oil tanks in Trincomalee, local media reported.

According to reports the majority of CPC unions have agreed on the trade union action demanding the government to halt the alleged agreement with India.

The proposed agreements the unions allege will benefit the IOC and will help the Indian Oil company to expand further in the island.

The unions are to oppose the handing over of a part of the oil facility operations at the Hambantota port to a Chinese firm, local media reported.
