The Punch: A season of strikes
It is disheartening to observe that almost every sector of the Nigeria economy is experiencing one form of strife or the other over issues that ordinarily would not have dragged for long. It seems that whenever parties are aggrieved, the only avenue and perhaps, the most suitable tool with which such grievances is settled is strike. The economic implication of this action cannot be overemphasised, as it brings so much untold hardship on the people.
The strike by the Nigerian Union of Teachers is one of those numerous actions. The members of RATAWU are threatening an industrial action because of unpaid allowances for over one year. Also, medical practitioners are at the verge of embarking on the same action over unsettled monetisation benefits.
