Is it wrong to take up industrial action against your employer?

[cherry123]

Oh well if they are some workers demanding for unqualifable higher pay them they need to be put on their place . To a large extent this might be against the law.

 

[Chibson]

I don't think this is wrong but one has to be careful because if you take up an industrial action against your employer. you might be victimized. so do it with sense.

There is nothing like victimization here. Whenever your worker does not pay you or breaches agreement you need to take industrial action.

There is nothing like victimization here. Whenever your worker does not pay you or breaches agreement you need to take industrial action.

Even when I was a school teacher, if my due date for payment extends by two days, I am not coming to work again. It doesn't make sense to continue working a job that doesn't pay you well.

Taking industrial action against your worker is What must be done critically to save the business.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah this is what the employers should know it is not about victimization but doing the right thing here. Whenever your employer does not pay or breaches agreement, industrial action need to taken

 

[Chibson]

Even when I was a school teacher, if my due date for payment extends by two days, I am not coming to work again. It doesn't make sense to continue working a job that doesn't pay you well.

That is actually the right thing you did. There is no excuse for not paying your workers at all. It doesn't make sense.

Every organisation have a timeline on how they increase their workers salary and there is no way any worker can demand for the salary to be increased when those conditions are not met.

 

[cherry123]

I just believe everyone should just do the right thing so that no one get intimidated, hurt or threatened. I know some humans can live s complicated life but sometimes it is unnecessary

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Some workplaces can just wake up and bring up unfavorable policies meant to surpress the staff. In that situation, industrial action is very necessary.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah it can be very annoying when employers bring up unfavorable policies which only pointing to surpressing the staff. so in this case industrial action will be very necessary too

 

[Niyi Briggs]

One big company in my state made a policy that they are not buying insurance plan to protect staff against work related accidents and injuries. And it is a manufacturing business where staff are more likely to be injured while working. The staff went on strike and protested for 3 months.

 

[Chibson]

Every organisation have a timeline on how they increase their workers salary and there is no way any worker can demand for the salary to be increased when those conditions are not met.

Yeah, I think workers demand for increment in salary when some certain conditions have been met. But if the employer refuses to increase the salary, the worker can look for work elsewhere in my own opinion.

 

[flower]

If your employer isn't doing the needfull then the appropriate action could be taken.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Yeah, I think workers demand for increment in salary when some certain conditions have been met. But if the employer refuses to increase the salary, the worker can look for work elsewhere in my own opinion.

In our home country, private schools would employ you on a salary of 18k and in 4 years, they have added 2K for you to take home 20k. Is that increment at all?

 

[Heatman]

Some workplaces can just wake up and bring up unfavorable policies meant to surpress the staff. In that situation, industrial action is very necessary.

As long as it's something that is going to be unfavorable to the workers, I believe that something should be done about it because the workers safety and health need to be taken into consideration as well.

 

[Chibson]

In our home country, private schools would employ you on a salary of 18k and in 4 years, they have added 2K for you to take home 20k. Is that increment at all?

Well, that is an increment of over 10% which is not really bad if the salary was good. But since the salary is bad it does not make sense.

 

[Etini Willie]

Always be sure that you have a strong case before taking up industrial action against your employer. Some staff are politically instigated to take up industrial actions against their bosses and it doesn't always end well.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Some employers don't understand any other language apart from strike. You talk to them, no way. You write letters, no way. When you embark on strike, that is when they hear you.

 

[cherry123]

it is good for one to have a solid case before taking up industrial action against any employer. some employers can be very aggressive if they know they were right so one should be very careful

 

[Heatman]

Some employers don't understand any other language apart from strike. You talk to them, no way. You write letters, no way. When you embark on strike, that is when they hear you.

This is something that's very common with our Labor Congress in my country. ASSU is another body that's good with strike action.
