The collective of professionals’ trade unions have temporarily called off their strike actions from today, March 15, after a countrywide one-day token strike on Wednesday. This was joined by 40 trade unions in multiple sectors, leading to the disruption of services in the health sector.
However, after taking into account the assurances given by the Presidential Secretariat, the views and opinions of trade union members as well as the inconveniences caused to the general public, the Professionals’ Trade Union Alliance (PTUA) decided to temporarily call off the token strike.
Accordingly, the island-wide 24-hour strike launched by the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) at all government hospitals came to an end at 8.00 a.m. today.
