It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974)

S1E3 The Mutiny of the Punka Wallahs

The camp decides to replace all the Punkah Wallahs with electric fans, leading the Punkah Wallahs to strike in protest. In a show of solidarity, the local electricity workers also walk off the job, plunging the camp into darkness. Soon after, the telephone exchange workers join the strike as well. In the midst of this chaos, Gunner Solomons devises a clever plan to resolve the conflict and bring back the Punkah Wallahs to their posts.
