For the past twelve years Ghana has recorded numerous strike actions by government workers in the public sector that have all been welcomed by sitting governments unlawfully that we all know is very unacceptable.

Please point of correction, there is nothing in the world as a legal strike action. Any grievances suffered by workers must be tackled or solved in their right or proper forms through the right state institutions specially set out for addressing the problems workers face, therefore any action by workers contrary to this must receive punishment. Strike actions must be countered by employing able and willing workers to fill in the gaps that are irresponsibly created by non-patriotic public and civil workers.

Many Ghanaians suffer the problem of unemployment and are ready and willing to offer services with higher abilities whiles the fortunate workers are drawing the country back from developmental progress with their selfish interests, non-patriotic and non-nationalistic as they are feeling too big than the overruling government in the country. Example is the strike actions by the teachers, doctors, pharmacists and many more.

First, the government overrules every action in the country all in the name of the best for the country as a whole. The government must not encourage strike actions by the instances of the leader of the country meeting with workers on strike to discuss issues in its relation. The government must always find a way to tackle the problem of strike actions by organizing back-up workers to temporarily fill in the vacuum created during strike actions until the irresponsible workers become patriotically reasonable and the unemployed working force will be so willing to take on this temporary task with benefits. This will put an end up to the problem of the state having all the workers in the public sector using strike actions as a form of bait against the state to get what their selfish interests drives them to.





The country has entertained strike actions to the extent that workers feeling so careless can announce strike actions before they take on them with no remorse that it goes about to hamper the development of the country. The most appalling of all is the health sector that feels so comfortable with strike actions in the country, knowing very well how crucial their role is to the lives and wellbeing of the citizens.

Yes we know the government owes the workers their deserved salaries, allowances, increments and so forth but do workers think government as the driving force to the development of the country will intentionally hold back monies from them when it is due? Definitely no…
As civilized as Ghanaian workers are let us all reason and stay loyal to the state by doing what we have to do through the right means to help build a Great nation we all envision. THANK YOU…
