Colombo (LNW): Trade Unions responding to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) today (27) have decided to go on sick leave as an island-wide trade union action in objection to what they call as unfair tax conditions imposed on their salaries and the recent electricity tariff hike.

Meanwhile, a demonstration will also be held in Colombo as part of their trade union action, said Ceylon Electrical Trade Unions’ Association Chief Malaka Wickramasinghe.
