Abstract
Was it a political strike? Where did government underestimate or trip over its own feet? Why hasn't government shared relevant information with trade unions? What was the cost to society? What is the possible significance of the strike? These are some of the questions that Ebrahim-Khalil Hassen explores in this thoughtful article around the June public service strike.-
