An urgent plan has been prepared to clear over 5,000 containers stuck due to the Customs strike and will be released by this weekend, Finance State Minister Ranjith Siambalapitiya announced.
He stated that the congestion is expected to be reduced by next Monday. Siambalapitiya also noted that trade union action is common when an election is near, and most trade unions are connected to political parties.
Minister Siambalapitiya made these remarks while attending the resumption of the indoor stadium construction at Rajasinghe College, Ruwanwella.
He emphasized that trade unions should prioritize their profession, institution, and the current national situation when making decisions.
The Minister added that strikes should be the last resort for trade unions, not the first action.
