Ambulance drivers prepare to launch island-wide strike
December 24, 2016
The Government Health Service Ambulance and Transport Drivers’ Association has decided to engage in an island-wide strike action from December 28, in support of the trade union action launched by the North Central Province Health Service Drivers’ Association.
Health Service Drivers in the North Central Province commenced their strike last Wednesday (21) while they launched a Satyagraha the following day opposite the office of the North Central Province Health Services Director.
The strike was staged over several demands and against the decision to recruit Health Service drivers to the Provincial Ministry.
However, an Ada Derana reporter said that army personnel have been tasked with operating the hospital ambulance services in the North Central Province.
