Energy Minister sounds warning as CPC employees report sick

 

Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera says that if any employee or trade union is found breaching the essential services regulations and disrupting services, immediate legal and disciplinary action will be taken against them. 

Meanwhile petroleum trade unions say that employees of Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) fuel distribution centres at Kolonnawa, Sapugaskanda and Muthurajawela will report sick today as a protest against a bill being taken up in Parliament today (18). 

It was decided to hold the debate on the Second Reading of the Petroleum Products (Special Provisions) (Amendment) Bill from 10.30 am to 5.00 pm today (18).
