The Trade Unions Collective, along with ICEU-Sri Lanka, organized a massive protest in Colombo on the 25th, demanding that the government withdraw unfavorable Labour law reforms that could lead to sharpening of worker exploitation. The protesters also called for an immediate halt to any attempts to misuse social security funds, including the EPF-ETF (Employee Provident Fund-Employee Trust Fund). The demonstrators voiced their concerns about the potential adverse effects of these reforms on the rights and well-being of the workers and urged the authorities to address their grievances promptly.
