Mr. Wickremeisnghe also said the following in his message.

Human labour is widely recognized and valued with the communication and technological advancement in the present world. Workers are not merely the labourers or farmers like in the 80s but a whole set of people in different ranks of professions and in different strata of life. Concerns and conversations on individual rights and discharging particular responsibilities to the nation in return are equally important.

Not surprisingly workers’ riots in world’s history have been able to meet many of the demands of the workers. The sacrifices of so many people who fought for the rights and dignities we enjoy today cannot be forgotten. Yet today we have the challenge of finding other means for our gains. We can end our fighting for a win- win solution. The workers today have to be radical in the accomplishment of their responsibilities and commitments in order to rewrite a history for the workers’ day.
