Temporary Dock Workers Attached To Magampura Port Ended Their Strike

Temporary Dock workers attached to Magampura Port in Hambanthota (Southern Province)who have launched a strike nine days ago demanding to recruit 480 temporary Dock Workers of the Port to Sri Lanka Ports Authority and stop selling the Magampura Port to a Chinese Company had ended their strike action today(15) and returned to work.

The Port workers ended their strike after  Minister of Ports And Shipping Arjuna Ranathunge has stated that those strikers  who will  not return to work  by 2 p.m today will be considered as leaving their jobs.

Sri Lanka Navy have intervened last Saturday to disperse a group of Port strikers in the Magampura Port as the protestors blocked a Japanese Vehicle carrier from leaving the Port.
