Strikes often affect those not involved with decision-making
PESHAWAR: Strikes or stoppage of work is one of the most common and possibly the only effective tactic for institutions and individuals in Pakistan to get their demands accepted. PIA’s pilots, doctors in hospitals, faculty in universities all resort to the same for resolution of their issues with the management. In such situations, however, the sufferers in a majority of the cases are those who have no direct involvement in the matter. For instance, passengers, patients and students are not a direct party to the dispute, yet they suffer the most. Therefore, the least management can do is to lessen the losses one is bound to bear with tussles between the employees and the management.
