Election Brings On Public Service Strikes.(Brief Article)

Each group of striking civil servants from postal employees to firemen know candidates running for election can be easily pressured into backing their demands. The demands from all of the strikers have two things in common; they all want salary increases, and they are all unjustified. The economy at this time cannot afford salary increases to public service employees.
