Strike has valuable lessons for everyone

Many will in fact react to the strike in terms of how they have been affected. It cannot be denied that there are obviously people in Government Enclave and in the public who believe that the strike is a demonstration that government made a mistake by ratifying the many International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions.

Some would even go further and state that beyond ratification of the convention government made the biggest mistake by implementing the conventions as domestic legislation like the liberal Public Service Act. The new Act seems to be in tandem with labour practices globally, which allow the employees to have a say in matters that affect them.
