Striking workers of the Metro Mass Transit Company Limited are scheduled to meet the National Labour Commission (NLC) today, Friday, October 14, 2022.
The workers of the Transport Company have been on a nationwide sit-down strike since October 12 over unpaid salaries and what they term as the incompetence of the management team to steer the affairs of the company.
Patrons of Metro Mass have been left stranded across the country, and the National Labour Commission is set to intervene to resolve the issues.
The secretary to the Senior Staff Division of the workers’ union told Citi News that, although the group has accepted to meet the Commission, the strike will continue until their demands are met.
“The demand is that, we want to hear from the President on the removal of the Managing Director. Until that, the strike is still on. We don’t know what the Commission is going to tell us, so we will still sit and go and listen to them.”
