CWC Secretary Minister Arumugam Thondaman told a joint news conference of the three unions which are signatories to the collective agreement that President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s intervention was not necessary to resolve the issue as this was an issue between the unions which are signatories to the collective agreement and the employers.
