The Joint Committee of Government Executive Officers launched
a two-day token strike on Thursday (02) by reporting sick over several demands including the salary issue.
Chairman of the joint committee H. A. L. Udayasiri said they also have planned to stage a series of protests in Colombo later today.
Against this backdrop, the non-academic staff members of all state universities have also decided to go on an indefinite strike starting at noon today.
Secretary of the non-academic staffers’ union said the authorities have failed to heed their demands despite being briefed about their issues on multiple occasions.
