Colombo District Court Issues Enjoining Order, Halts Planned Trade Union Action at Colombo Port

December 27, 2023

The Colombo District Court issued an enjoining order on Wednesday, preventing the Port Trade Union Alliance from staging a planned trade union action scheduled for tomorrow, December 28th.

The court's directive aims to avert potential disruptions to operations at the Colombo Port.

The Port Trade Union Alliance had organized the trade union action, which, if carried out, was expected to impact the normal functioning of the Colombo Port. However, the enjoining order effectively prohibits the Alliance from proceeding with their planned industrial action.
