Impact of "Bandh" or cab strike
India is a country where in any Tom, Dick or Harry tranquilizes any
city or state on the name of Bandh, Trucker's Strike or Rasta Roko.
It was an estimated 520 crore loss only in Bangalore City per a
day's "Bandh". This amount could have been used to make 20 flyovers
or 2 hi-tech buildings like ITPL. ( Please refer to Article : Cost
of Bandh on Times of India dated 14.02.2007 )
Now there is an interesting story on this. Once In Japan at a shoe
manufacturing company, labors went on agitation and declared strike.
They wanted to teach a lesson to the higher management for not
obeying their demands. They continued to work as usual, but all the
shoes that they manufactured during the days of strike were for one
side of the foot ( one from a pair ).
Thus they made the management to agree to their demands, and on
closure of strike date they started manufacturing the rest half of
the shoes, thus making the productivity up to expectations and still
could make their demands fulfilled.
Can't we do something similar? Isn't it a lesson to India? Probably
yes we too can do this. We can support the cab and truck people in
enjoying Bandh, but then the next then We must make them pay for the
same.
Regards
Nilachakra
