There is not a single day without one hearing NAGRAT on strike, health workers on strike, GNAT on strike, TEWU on strike, etc, etc. What legacy are we leaving for our children? Is it 'strike legacy'.
It is an undisputed fact that the wages of our civil servants are low, but we must also take into consideration the kind of economy we have. We cannot expect to earn like those in the developed countries.
The country has gone through a lot in the past years, and it is through courage, commitment, patriotism and dint of hard work and sacrifice that we can grow our economy.
As far as the importance of every organization or group can not be over- looked, the government can also not give all the resources of the country to one organization. 'Ekom ye ya' (hunger is hurtful), but we must think of our country.
What will happen to children who go to the classrooms but are not taught? Patients who go to the hospital and there are no doctors? Illiteracy, death, etc.
Strike and demonstrations are constitutional rights, but some groups abuse it. We at ADM think most of these strikes and demonstrations can be resolved through negotiations or communication.
From what is happening now, it seems no organization respects the government or is it vise-visa?
We share the grievances of the affected groups, and we also think they must earn according to their work rate, but we also think the economy is still young and fragile to give big incentives to civil servants.
And it is in this regard that all Ghanaians must direct their thoughts and efforts to create a buoyant economy for a better service conditions and salary.
