Colombo Port bans Sri Lankan Port workers strike

The Colombo district court has banned the industrial action by Sri Lankan Port workers pressing their charter of demands according to Sri Lankan media reports

The Court issued an Enjoining Order on December 27th against the Trade Unions of the Ports Authority preventing trade union action scheduled  to start from December 28th.

The Sri Lankan Port Authority which owns the Sri Lankan Ports from Colombo to Trincomalee to Hambantota complained to Court that if the trade union action as launched, as scheduled, it would be contrary to the collective agreement in force and will have an adverse impact to the entire country and its economy.

The trade unions appeared in Court and sought to make out that several unions were not parties to the collective agreement and had stated the Sri Lankan Port Authority made an attempt to mislead Court.

However, having considered the material placed before Court, the District Court issued the Enjoining Order preventing any trade union action which would hamper the Port operations of the Island nation.
