NewsThe Ceylon Electricity Board Engineers' Union (CEBEU) say they will launch a work-to-rule campaign from May 8. The trade union action was initially scheduled to be launched this Friday (20). However, the union postponed the strike by two weeks following discussions with Power and Renewable Energy Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya and Ministry officials yesterday. The union had earlier warned that such a work-to-rule campaign could cause intermittent power failures and even power cuts throughout the island. The CEBEU wants the Government to intervene and approve the plan favoured by the CEB.
