Postal workers have resorted to a protest fast outside the Central Mail Exchange (CME) a short while ago, demanding the Government to resolve their issues.

Around 30 employees had joined in the action and pledged that they would fast unto death if the authorities further remained silent.

The work stoppage launched by the postal workers attached to 24 unions on Monday (11) completed ten days today. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

Although so many fast onto death, no one has died in the recent past?

That is interesting and nice. Now days have become weeks and soon months. There is no other option other than fast. May be some at their respective home. Do not give in. Let them fast to death. Less burden on the tax payers!!!

Is there any way we could help in 'fastracking' the process?

They struck work and nobody took notice. Now they have started something else just to draw attention. Let them fast.

let them fast. there is a big saving to the country from this strike. Now emails,SMS are the popular communication methods. This service is not important.
