I urge all stakeholders in this dispute to sit down and explore all options so that the public, especially schoolkids, are not inconvenienced by strike action. The last thing anybody needs is strike action. It will not help anyone and will further damage everyone concerned in the long term. The Minister, as the major stakeholder, must get involved and act as a mediator between the two sides.
