This strike is long overdue. The railway employees run and maintain very old railway infrastructure, locomotives and rolling stock. They work hard round the clock to keep the system going. The wages get are nothing compared to the private sectors. They need a 100% or more pay rise. Sorry "so called patriots".

This is long standing tug-of-war between the government and the Railway employees. Can the government stop bullying and raise wages with immediate effect??
I agree that they are dedicated servicemen and when it come locomotive drivers, they do an enormous service to the nation.
They let the country move forward.......

With the increasing road traffic, there are lots of people opting to travel by train. I myself take train to come to Colombo from Kandy. It takes only 2 1/2 and a lot more comfortable. I'm wondering why the authorities do not focus on investing on Railways as there is so much scope for development. Why do they have to waste so much money and quality property on Highways when they can easily repair the rail tracks? Better rail tracks can reduce Kandy-Colombo journey to 2 hours without any problem.

Change the minister, appoint professor M.Silva or patriot Hon. WImal weerawansa. They can find patriotic or thug solutions against strikers.

Actually this time Government should get the blame. I suppose this is not only regarding wages(increase of salaries) but their promotions or carrier schemes as well. This is one time Government deprives poor citizens of Sri Lanka and employees of Sri Lanka Railways.
