ARE THE LABOUR AND UNION LEADERS INSENSITIVE?
I wonder why only Government workers went on strike over the removal of subsidy whereas the public and private sectors do not participate.
I wonder why there is closure of all Government schools where the children of the poor attend whereas the private schools attended by children of the rich open to students.
I wonder why all government hospitals and Health Centres which attend to the poor and the vulnerable were forced to close down whereas the private hospitals that were patronized by the rich do not.
I wonder why doctors that offered essential services to save live are closed down but the military and police station do not participate.
I wonder why all government offices were forced to close down whereas the petrol stations that sell at the disputed price were left to operate freely.
It is obvious from the above that the ongoing strike is too callous and highly insensitive to the plight of the poor and the most vulnerable of this country.
My Candid Advice To The Labour And Union Leaders
That in order that the Union and Labor Leaders will not be seen as being insensitive to the plight of the most vulnerable in the society, the following advice are way out.
The Union/Labour Leaders as a matter of urgency should exclude all essential services from the ongoing protest over subsidy removal.
To direct the unconditional opening of all public schools, hospital and health centers to ameliorate the suffering of the poor and the most vulnerable in the society.
To dialogue with the Federal and State Governments on the upwardly review workers salary.
To monitor the use of the subsidy removal proceeds to rehabilitate all dilapidated public infrastructures (Roads, Schools, Airports and Hospitals).
