teachers only can conceal their disappointed towards the
issue relating the wages, allowances, and so on and the
most worst is they tend to do strike or picket as their way
to bargain with their employer which then only can give
them the bad result such as the employer take an action
like lock-out to preventing them from spreading
employees action and as a result the teachers or
employees that has been lock-out get nothing in return
and unemployed.
