The Customs Trade Union Alliance has confirmed that its ongoing black armband protest will continue today (26), as discussions with authorities are scheduled to address their outstanding concerns.
Union representatives stated that the future course of trade union action will depend on the outcome of a meeting planned for today with the Deputy Minister of Finance. They noted that the protest could be escalated if their demands remain unresolved.
Vice President of the Customs Officers’ Association, Geethanjana Madapatha, confirmed that customs officers will continue wearing black armbands while carrying out their official duties. He added that this form of protest, which began on February 24, remains in effect across customs offices.
The trade union action was launched to draw attention to long-standing issues raised by customs officers, with unions now awaiting the outcome of discussions with the Finance Ministry before deciding on their next steps.
