The work-to-rule trade union action launched by employees of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) in protest against the proposed division of the institution into four entities continued for the second consecutive day today (6).
Chairman of the CEB Technicians’ Union, Kosala Abeysinghe, stated that none of the employees have agreed to the voluntary compensation scheme introduced under the restructuring plan.
“The work-to-rule campaign will continue until midnight on the 15th as part of its first phase. This action was launched in response to the government’s irresponsible approach to restructuring the CEB. Although we held discussions with the Minister yesterday, they did not yield a satisfactory outcome,” he said.
