Behind the placards and protests lies a deeper frustration: delayed promotions, unpaid arrears, and a feeling of being ignored. While politicians campaign, these workers are demanding basic dignity. What’s striking isn’t just the timing; it’s the quiet strength of ordinary people refusing to wait any longer. This isn’t just a labor issue; it’s a message to the next government: fix this, or face the fallout. After all, when the backbone of administration stops, everything slows down; even elections.
