Tense situation prevailed at Hambantota port this morning when the navy tried to free the two ships seized by workers who were staging a protest at the port.

Workers of the Hambantota port launched a protest a few days ago and seized control of two ships docked at the port demanding that all 483 workers be recruited by the Ports Authority. (Sanath Gamage)

They are turning into criminals, aren't they? You can't blame them. It's the deeply entrenched culture of entitlement the CB governor was talking about.

Ths is not a strike but criminal activity. Action should be severe as otherwise it would in future lead to any union taking public property to ransom. Absolute lawlessness.

Ranatunga mis-management is to blame!!
