Railway strike from August 29 midnight

The Railway Guards’ Union says they will commence a strike action from midnight on August 29. The strike is being launched due to the lack of a proper response from authorities with regard to rectifying their salary anomalies.  
 
Railway trade union representatives including engine drivers, controllers, guards and stationmasters held discussions with President Maithripala Sirisena and government officials yesterday (23). They also held discussions with the wages board today. 
 
However, speaking to reporters following the meeting several trade union representatives said that talks were unsuccessful.
