Electricity trade unions have intensified their ongoing work-to-rule campaign, expressing their non-cooperation with the government’s plans to restructure the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).
Speaking to the media, a trade union representative said a decision has been taken to refrain from cooperating with officials from the Ministry of Power, the CEB Director General, and officials involved in the restructuring process.
“We will not participate in any of the discussions with these officials. We will refrain from taking part in any activities involving them. We have been engaged in this trade union action for over a month now. The government has failed to resolve the issues and has yet to engage in a discussion with us. We will continue our trade union action until the government responds,” he said.
The trade union representative further said that the electricity trade unions will further intensify the ongoing trade union action in the future. (Newswire)
