A workers' union is political in nature and I think Sossion used KNUT to gain political favour. In all aspects, he has been working in cahoots with the Opposition, the National Supper Alliance (NASA).
All aspects of politics have some origin and I believe there must be a way he gained entry into the arena using union politics in agitating for the welfare of its members. But his latest move may not have any political implication because the Government has accepted and is sorting out teachers' issues.
