TEACHER'S STRIKE CALLED OFF,BUT HOW?

The calling off of the Countrywide teachers strike that had paralyzed learning for about two weeks was this time round done in a very different way.

 Usually the Government and the trade unions go into negotiations which ultimately may lead to an agreement to call off the strike.

Today thought saw a different twist in the manner in which the strike was called off.Unlike the usual handshakes between the parties involved in the conciliation process, this time round the industrial court exercised it's jurisdiction of ordering for specific performance.

In this case,the Judge of industrial Court ordered the Trade Unions to call off the strike and subsequently file the dispute matters before it.
This is because the trade dispute between the teachers Union and the Government was not able to be resolved after conciliation.
