  • Deduct their Pay if Protesting During Working hours Monday, 01 April 2024 03:25 PM

    If these jokers are protesting during office hours, their pay should be deducted. Using taxpayers funds to protest is not acceptable. Thought Health services is gazetted as essential services and how come they can protest?

    Just shouting in the air. Get back to work. Ask your union leaders to negotiate with the ministry. Learn to behave your selves.

    How can these non-academic-educated health workers demand an allowance like doctors get?

    The protest should shut up the over paid doctors Monday, 01 April 2024 07:44 PM

    Doctors command too much respect here. The number of protestors is going to make the doctors realise their allowance so cunningly obtained is going to eventually bit them back bad.

    If these buggers can sit at home and get money for nothing they will do it. Shame on all Sri lankans !!!!

    True enough this is the right time to come to the streets shout and get the pay rise like us the poor financially difficult people. "you give the increase we will vote for you otherwise no vote" Hon.President has no option???

    Report to work after 9 am, read newspapers, have tea, check emails, get to the streets and make unreasonable demands from the govt. have lunch, take a nap, have tea at 3 pm and get ready from 4 pm onwards to catch a bus or train back home This is what they do on a daily basis, for which our tax money is used to pay them a salary
