The ruling by India's highest court that government employees have no fundamental right to strike has come at a time when India is coming to terms with the effects of globalisation on its economy.
The Supreme Court ruled that such strikes hurt the economy, but trade unions feel that public sector employees will lose out as a result of the ruling, especially while key economic sectors are being privatised.

For decades, a career in the Indian Government was synonymous with social security.

And the right to strike was deemed inalienable.

Strikes in the public sector were commonplace, sometimes with workers enforcing a complete shutdown.

However, the Supreme Court's judgement could decisively alter that situation
