Emphasizing that \u201cenough is enough,\u201d the chairman stressed the peaceful nature of their activism, denouncing any violence or subversion of their cause.<\/p>\n

Central to the grievances, according to labour, are the perceived failures in policy formulation and implementation, which they argued have had detrimental effects on workers and the nation as a whole.<\/p>\n

They demand the prompt implementation of agreements previously reached with workers.<\/p>\n

Protesters warned that failure to meet their demands before March 2 could result in severe economic consequences, saying the ultimatum underscores the seriousness of their resolve and the urgency for government action.<\/p>\n

They urged workers to brace themselves for a potential escalation.<\/p>\n

The call for preparedness, the labour leaders, said reflects a sentiment of disillusionment with unproductive dialogues and a readiness for more decisive action.<\/p>\n
