The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) Engineers’ Union will launch a sick note campaign today as a mark of protest over what it called ‘unlawful’ action by Chairman M.M.C. Ferdinando, an official said.
Union’s Joint Secretary Dammika Wimalaratne told Daily Mirror that the CEB chairman had carried out a number of unlawful activities including the appointment of the new general manager in violation of the legal provision.
“We have instructed all our engineers to report sick leave, and gather in front of the CEB head office to protest. This is our silent protest. If there is no favourable response, we will go for stronger trade union action,” he said.
Asked whether today’s action could lead to any power interruption, he said the engineers assigned for shift duties at the power stations would be available, and therefore power interruption was unlikely over the trade union action.
