Sri Lankan apparel workers stage protest against Trump’s tariffs
Hundreds of Sri Lankan apparel industry workers took to the streets on Saturday in Colombo to protest against the new trade tariffs imposed on the country by the US President Donald Trump.
Sri Lanka’s trade tariff was reduced to 20 per cent from earlier 44 percent following negotiations with the US trade department.
The members of the free trade zone unions said all their fringe benefits such as uniforms, the annual excursions, sports festival and end of the year reception have been stopped.
