Postal services countrywide came to a standstill today, following the indefinite strike launched on Monday by postal workers, the United Postal Trade Unions Front (UPTUF) said.
UPTUF convener Chinthaka Bandara told Daily Mirror more than 23,000 employees from 23 unions have joined the trade union action, disrupting more than 80 per cent of the postal services.
Meanwhile, Post and Telecommunication Union members, who had refrained from joining the strike have today informed the management that it would also support the strike from midnight today.

Privatize the postal service or outsource it. There are very little importance mail going as snail mail. It is slow and unreliable. Use drones to deliver parcels. We have a scientific cabinet and this is peanuts?
