The deadline given by the Electricity Employees’ Union to provide Christmas bonuses to the employees of the Ceylon Electricity Board ends on December 10th.
The union had written a letter to the chairman of the board and informed him that the Christmas bonuses should be provided before December 10th.
The letter points out that the previous administration had not taken any action to provide the bonuses in the last two years and that since the Ceylon Electricity Board is no longer a loss-making institution, this bonus should be provided.
