Now workers strike in Airtel also

There is a misconception among the public in general and to a certain extent among ourselves also, that strikes, dharnas etc will be done only by Government or PSU sector employees and in private sector these have no place and the consumers of private sectors will be happily enjoying uninterrupted service.
