The Ceylon Electricity Board Joint Trade Union Alliance suspended its strike after handing over letter to Prime Minister’s secretary Saman Ekanayeke.

Convener Ranjan Jayalal said they had requested the Secretary inquire into the CEB’s alleged misappropriation of some Rs.2,000 million which had been paid as a salary increments to the CEB administrative officials on November 21, 2014.

Mr. Jayalal told Daily Mirror all CEB employees would march to Colombo on February 7 and would resort to an indefinite strike if the government failed to respond positively to their reasonable demand. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

    Please take stern action against the union members who behaved against the law of the country.

    I think the Union claim has merit and should be inquired into. This looks like a justifiable trade union action unlike GMOA.

    1. Hold Union Members who behaved like morons2. What the hell were they doing for 3years about this Rs.2000m3. Better late, than never..... investigate the 2000

    How to restore the system that has been implemented by the incumbent government that every-lineman and minor employee at work doing duty the lion share of their PAYMENT goes to High-officers? This was what the real unsettled Trade Union Action was taken place for so long. Is that now forgotten?
