The Role of Public Sector Trade Unions in the Representation of Civil Servants

Abstract

As long as there are employees who are disappointed with the way things are being run in their organisation, as long as there are executives who trample upon the rights of employees on the lower strands, and as long as management and the employees cross each other's path, the formation of public sector unions is not only unavoidable but should even be encouraged. As long as the government has responsible public sector employee unions which will uphold public interest to private interest, good governance will no longer be an aspiration but a reality. As long as there is a responsive management which lends a sympathetic ear to a responsible public sector union which supports the country’s mission and vision, we will achieve the government worthy of the trust and confidence of the people
