A union official said the president gave a favorable hearing to their main demand over the removal of Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) chairman.
The CEBEU is to formally decide today on ending the work to rule campaign. But power failures were quickly fixed even yesterday, sources said.
The CEBEU along with several engineers unions in other state enterprises are also demanding car permits, which were limited to central government workers.
In Sri Lanka ordinary citizens out of government service are heavily taxed.
A separate meeting the joint engineers unions had with the government over the car permit issue had ended inconclusively.
