The Nidahas Sevaka Sangamaya has announced that all Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) employees will withdraw from services for 24 hours starting at 03.00 pm today (09).
Union General Secretary Prabath Priyantha told the media that despite the government’s decision to abolish the CEB, no reasonable response or collective agreement has been offered to electricity workers.
He stressed that employees will not return to duty until discussions on a collective agreement are held.
Priyantha added that while power plants and essential operations will continue, all breakdown repairs and maintenance work will be suspended during the 24‑hour period, with only essential services provided. (Newswire)
