Statement : The employees union of the Municipal Corporation has decided to strike work for indefinite period in protest against the management's refusal to grant bonus.

Courses of Action :
I. The government should immediately pay ex-gratia grant to the Municipal Corporation to grant bonus to its employees.
II. The striking employees should be persuaded to defer the strike notice.

Explanation:-

Immediately conceding to the employees' demands may entice the employees into black-mailing the management frequently. A better way is to have talks with them and persuade them to end strike. So, only course II follows.
