A group of employees from the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) launched a work-to-rule trade union action across the island starting at midnight yesterday, in protest against the unilateral restructuring plan of the institution.
The CEB Independent Workers’ Union stated that if the government fails to provide a proper resolution to this issue, they will not hesitate to escalate the action into a strike.
Over the past few days, CEB employees have expressed their opposition to the restructuring process being carried out under the amended Electricity Act.
It is against this backdrop that they initiated the work-to-rule action starting at midnight yesterday. (Newswire)
