Trade Union Center asks Ratnapriya to go!

It is reported that the Trade Union Coordinating Center has informed the President of the Government Nurses Association Saman Ratnapriya to vacate the center.

Saman Ratnapriya has been asked to leave, as he cannot represent the Trade Union Coordinating Center whileworking directly with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's deal politics.

The Government Nurses' Association President Ratnapriya, has been asked to resign during a meeting with trade union leaders at the center via Zoom Technology on the 15th.

He has been asked to leave claiming that he not only has links with the Ranil Wickremesinghe government which was formed with President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa but also with former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s supporters who attacked the Galle Face protest.

However, Ratnapriya claims that he had not received any notice to vacate.

He also is of the view that at a time when the country was in a state of anarchy, Ranil Wickremesinghe was the only leader who was willing to take over, adding that he should be allowed to carry on his duties without any hindrance.
