The strike launched by the Sevenagala and Pelwatta sugar factory workers is continuing.
The workers launched a strike on Friday (2) against the decision to appoint an acting Chairman to replace Janaka Nimalachandra, who was the Chairman of both the factories.
Secretary of the Progressive Employees Union Sisira Kumara says the strike will continue until a solution is provided in writing.
He further says that due to the strike the maintenance work at the factories also came to a standstill.
