Court order against Nurses strike

February 10, 2022 at 6:14 PM

The Colombo District Court has issued two enjoining orders preventing the strike action staged by the Government Nursing Officer’s Association from continuing.

The Attorney General (AG) today filed an action against the Government Nursing Officer’s Association and its President Saman Rathnapriya.

The AG had sought an enjoining order from the court to immediately suspend the trade union action staged by the Government Nursing Officer’s Association.

The enjoining order had been requested after the AG had informed the court of the present deplorable conditions in hospitals due to patient care being severely affected as a result of the trade union action. 

Thereby, District Court Judge of Colombo Aruna Aluthge issued two enjoining orders preventing the union from continuing its trade union strike as it is endangering the lives of the patients. (NewsWire)
