This strike that the Customs officers are involved in is a very irresponsible course of action. It is very selfish and does not take into consideration all of the airline passengers such as my wife and I who are currently being inconvenienced as a result of this action. Why should customers that have nothing to do with government and union negotiations have to suffer? There must be a better solution to solving the issues between the two aforementioned groups that does not involve inconveniencing customers!

Who do these people think they are?
Why do they think that inconveniencing travelers is going to help the only major industry that this nation has?
They seem to be total delusional sociopaths who live outside the real world.

Ya gotta love it!!! Just another fine example that other people/nations can say about this countries people, of being childish, immature and spiteful. Like a 5th grade child. Matters such as this can and should be handled with aggressive negotiations between both parties involved, regardless of how long it takes and strikes are a last measure after EVERYTHING else has failed. And when differences (or misunderstandings) occur, then those discussions again proceed. To have adversely affected NOT only other citizens (merchants, taxi drivers, regular citizens, etc), as well as tourist (which this nation survives on, mind you!!!) by this strike is immature, reeks of lack of responsibility and accountability. I just hope for the day that maturity will somehow overtake this nation and the citizenry will require more from their public officials and unions.

Don't these people realize what damage they are doing to the country! How can they expect raises if no money is coming in from the airport. They are ruining this country and I have very little sympathy for them. Holding the government hostage is not the answer right now. The Union is very very irresponsible. Sure they might win a little now, but in the long run we all lose and they will be the biggest losers. I personally hate Unions. All they cause is trouble with very little benefit except for the Union bosses getting very big salaries. And really that is the bottom line. The Union bosses have to hang on to their jobs.

Pawns in a game they cannot possibly win being advised as they are only serves one purpose and one purpose alone: holding the country captive at the mercy of the collective body--TUC. Message to Obie: This is a real country with real LAWS and a real government which has ultimate power--your political calculation is wrong. A web is built from in to out. To Customs and Immigration Officers: you are dependents and dispensable. You are not even in the game. You were never in the game.

It is not just the union that should be held responsible. What about the government that apparently changed what they verbally agreed during the meetings. These things always drag out until the election so that the union has the upper hand.

The real solution is for both parties to select and equally pay a mediator/arbitrator. Whatever the mediator decides then it is binding. Stop all this back and forth.
