Cpc Trade Unions On Indefinite Strike From Today

Recommended Posts

[Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Trade Unions are on an indefinite strike from today in protest of an incident that took place yesterday. According to the CPC, a large group of people had stormed the Kolonnawa oil refinery and threatened its workers yesterday. Secretary of the Jathika Sevaka Sangamaya Petroleum Branch, Ananda Palitha told Daily Mirror Online that workers at the CPC were about to resume normal shifts after the work to rule campaign ended on Friday.

However, following a meeting held today at 12noon, the CPC has decided to take strike action in protest of yesterday’s incident.

Secretary Palitha stated that the CPC will not resume work until they receive arrears that date back to January 2009, the agreed pay hike of 22%, which he added was not enough, and a formal apology by the relevant authorities. No one was injured in the incident.]

DAMN THIS BUGGERS!!!! :angry-smiley-048: :angry-smiley-048: :angry-smiley-048:

haha... saw it on DM half an hour ago, got in to my car in my bed shorts and rushed to the closest shed (sennanayake junction, borella) and pumped full tank. That would keep me on the road for about a month.

Stations are not full yet, so better get ur fuel in fast before they start rationalizing and eventually stop issuance.

Just a point to note.. take cash, as cards are not accepted at this time due to shed offices being closed

It was a breaking news on DM when I posted it here. But too late now. Luckily we managed to fill up the Ford to the brim from the Battaramulla station. No petrol there through.

I think you are refering to Dhusta Gamini near Colombo. DutuGamunu was a great king who respected his rival Elara too.

Whatever their levels of productivity are- that gives no one the right to harm them through tuggery and violence- Simpathy is a good thing to consider- they are people as well, less fortunate as well. IMO that last sentence is unjustifiable
