They should call off the strike already

Appeals re ongoing

I believe that if this strike is called off then no more strikes. We better get what we want now and forget strike forever than suspend only to go back again.

Also let it not be suspension of the residency program that make us call it off, let's get our act together once and for all.
My opinion.

I hope they don't use the residency training suspension as a basis for calling off the strike. If they play to government's well set trap, it will be disastrous. Residency training wasn't part of the struggle, it's a ploy to distabilize the union and get members mind off the real struggle.

the UNION is unstable even before the strike, it was people from among us that advised GEJ to suspend RTP. the strike shouln't have lasted this long if the NOC were serious.

what is the situation now, voting over?

a representative of the SGF pius anyim is in the meeting now and is saying that anyim is pleading we should call off.
the same anyim who has gone to the media saying negotiations have stopped.
