News : Transport strike lingers.
Old trick loses its effectiveness after you apply it for too long.
So what was the old trick?
It works like this :
You ask "who's your leader?"
The group replies "He is." -- as everyone wants to be a leader now a days.
You call him in and apply carrot and stick. The leader thinks "well I have a family to support, a future to worry about and my life to save -- what's in life" -- he gets sold out in 2 hours.
And you have full control on all the people that took him as leader.
So yesterday night they asked the transport leaders in to discuss. Leaders ate the carrot, being afraid of the the stick. And declared "strike withdrawn."
But the drivers and workers are hellbent on continuing strike. And as a result the strike lingers today.
There's a disconnection between the transport kings and their subjects. The government has to look for new kings from lower ranks, who are followed by their subjects.
