                    [Summary] => 
The most probable reason why the most recent strike by jeepney drivers failed to paralyze transport is because the cause for the strike lacked the validity to galvanize and unite even the transport sector itself. Many jeepney drivers refused to join. When a cause causes division, it is probably not a good and worthy cause and is best left alone.

It is good that transport groups that earlier threatened to stage a two-day nationwide transport strike beginning today have agreed to cancel the protest action. The cancellation came about after government promised to review a new policy that was to have imposed higher penalties for traffic violations.

The jeepney strike last Thursday, launched to protest higher fees and penalties imposed by government,  was doomed to fail from the start. First, you do not fight government and expect to win. Second, the strike was unreasonable and did not give the strikers the high moral ground.
