PM agrees to discuss private sector wage hike
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has assured private sector workers that he would discuss their wage hike demand following a meeting between the PM and the Employers Federation of Ceylon (EFC). Union leader Anton Marcus speaking on the sidelines of a protest rally at Muttiah Park in Colombo on Thursday said they had received an assurance from Mr. Wickremesinghe earlier in the morning for a meeting to discuss the trade unions’ issues. The Premier had said he met with the EFC for a discussion and had noted that “they are planning to do something.” Meanwhile, the private sector workers’ trade unions participating at the rally were moving a resolution to launch a token strike within two weeks should the government fail to bring in legislation to increase wages by Rs.2,500 per month.
