Sri Lanka - Striking postal workers threatened to come back to work

During the second week of strike in June 2018, Postmaster General Rohana Abeyratne declared in a communiqué that leave of the Postal Department had been cancelled and warned that striking postal employees who do not report to work the next day would be considered as having vacated the service. He also stressed that the administration is no longer accountable for the security of temporary staff, casual, substitutes, acting and permanent workers who do not return to work by the following day .
