Trade union leaders representing workers of the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) have called on the authorities to publish the report of the presidential commission that investigated the recent unrest in the FTZ that followed the killing of Roshen Shanaka by police.
Roshen was killed in workers protests against a controversial private sector pension scheme. The pensions bill was later withdrawn following strong opposition by workers.
In addition, the government is now trying to establish new worker councils as an alternative to the existing trade union representation. All trade unions in the country have come out against this move by the government.
