Trade Unions responding to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) today (18) have decided to resort to a trade union action in objection to the proposed Special Petroleum Regulations Act due to be debated in Parliament by going on sick leave.
President of the Petroleum Public Employees Union Asoka Ranwala warned that fuel distribution may be delayed due to this trade union action.
However, responding to the trade union action, Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said that legal actions will be taken against anyone obstructing the distribution of fuel or any affair of the energy field, under the provisions of the Essential Service Regulations Act.
