TUs put brakes on CPC luxury vehicle purchase
A move to purchase two luxury vehicles for the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) at a cost of Rs. 25 million has been shelved after trade unions there threatened strike action.

Tenders had been called from two private vehicle importers to purchase the two jeeps, a four-wheel luxury Montero costing Rs. 13 million and a Nissan petrol jeep costing Rs.12 million.

However, when Corporation trade union members got wind of the deal initiated by a “VIP”, they had threatened to go on strike following which the matter had been stalled for the moment.
