December 07, 2017

The Railway Control Room says that several trains including used for long-distance trips, have been cancelled this morning due to the trade union action launched by the Locomotive Operating Engineers Union.

Locomotive Operating Engineers Union (LOEU) announced its decision to start a strike from midnight yesterday (6^th Dec.).

Secretary of the LOEU Indika Dodamgoda stated that the strike action was organized as the government is yet to comply with several demands made by them.
