Use available mechanism to end strikes

The country has witnessed a series of industrial unrest in the public sector in the last few months. Some of these strikes have gone ahead even after being declared illegal by the Industrial Relations Court; the final arbiter as far as Labour relations are concerned.

The strikes have not only been costly in terms of loss of work output, economic and social costs but also in case of the doctors strike; the loss of human lives.
