Jul 25, 2016
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is to meet the heads of the Ministry of Plantation, the Treasury and the Employers Federation (EFC) at Temple Trees today (25), to resolve salary issues in the estate sector.
The Prime Minister has already directed authorities to take action to address salary issues in the estate sector, and its progress will be discussed at tomorrow's meeting.
The Treasury had earlier agreed to offer financial assistance to regional plantation companies, to increase the salaries of the estate sector workers.
The proper implementation of this programme and its way forward will also be discussed at the meeting.
