Strike-Right to protest or right to trouble customers

One of the most epidemic practices used in India is to go on or declare strike. It is the tool in hand of all service providers to fight for their demands. It is not pertinent to mention whether they are legitimate or not as the scope of this post doesn’t cover that. They want to take the customers who are paying for their service to get troubled and then help them achieve their goal.
The point here to under stand is any service or product will die its death in long run if it doesn’t meet the user’s expatiations. But some essential services though not meeting the above requirement are continued to be patroned by user’s out of compulsion like health services and transport. But in reality the users are not party to the demands of the providers but only a third party. They are not at any fault in this whole gamut. But the service providers curtail their service in short time at high rate, so as the effect is visible on the users. Actual parties like governments, owners, who have to meet the demands are not affected.
Now for the remedy to this aliments.
If the service providers are taking users or patrons to task, why not we also take the same. Let’s take them to task by declaring counter strike on any service that go on strike. It is the same if they don’t provide us service or we don’t use their service. Our action also should be at same speed and quantum so that effect is felt. As a caution, let me say, why not we use only alternatives on the days of counter strike. For example if buses are on strike we are troubled, but we some how use alternatives and come out of our extreme emergency needs. Then in the same way after the bus strike is over let the users declare counter strike on buses and not use them for a day or two till they are taught a lesson, while using alternatives. Example on counter strike day of buses lets use own vehicle or auto or use private bus or train and best is to not to plan travel at all. But for coordination of this task, has to be done by some one. This is a definite counter to all who plan a strike next time. Let’s plan same for all those who declare nation wide or state bund. Actually they should do bund or stop activities of the concerned official or government not the common public who suffer for no fault of them.
