The trade unions representing electricity workers have announced that they will engage in a work-to-rule trade union action across the island, starting from midnight today (04).

The trade union action has been planned in protest against the unilateral restructuring process of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).

President of the CEB Technical Engineers’ Union, Kosala Abeysinghe, stated that this trade union action will be carried out in several phases.

He further warned that if the authorities fail to take steps to resolve their issues, the trade union action will be intensified in the coming days. (Newswire)
