Just like the earlier governments Mr. Mahinda Rajapakses’s government too is getting bankrupt said JVP Parliamentarian Lal Kanthe. He said this commenting on the government’s decision to declare several main services as essential services and forbid trade union actions in relation to those services. “What should have been done was to have discussions with trade unions and find solutions for the difficulties of workers. Instead, the government is getting ready to suppress trade unions as it is getting bankrupt,” said Mr. Lal Kanthe.
He revealed that trade unions are having a dialogue to take action to turn back the action taken by the government and these actions would be taken in the future he added.
A discussion regarding this is going on within the Parliamentary group of the JVP too said Mr. Lal Kanthe. The JVP supported to implement emergency regulations on condition that they would not be used to suppress workers. If the government acts contrary to this it is a matter to be concerned with said Mr. Lal Kanthe.
