Speakers During Rallies and Strikes

Rallies and strikes are usually held outside the perimeter of establishments that they target. When there is a strike from factory workers, these workers o their strike outside the gates of that certain factory. There are strikes held in opposition to rules or price increase of a certain company or perhaps the mistreatment of their workers. Keynote speakers are required to speak in these rallies or strikes. There are two different kinds of rallies on the other hand; there are peaceful rallies where the organizers ask for a permit to rally at a certain location. Then there are the illegal rallies where they assume that it’s ok to set up a rally without asking for a permit. This usually ends up bad for it usually goes out of control. Here are different kinds of rallies and strikes you should learn about.

Company Strikes – Is usually held when workers or employees cannot settle their differences with the governing body of the company, this where they are not paid for overtime or for paid leave and no increase in salary. Most of the participants of these strikes are the senior employees or workers who have been with the company for many years and their demands for a pay raise, overtime etc. have not been met by the heads of the company. The keynote speakers for these strikes are those elected to head the group through the negotiations and the agreement meetings. Negotiations and meetings are held by the company to try and negotiate with the employees and come up to a certain agreement.

Transport Strikes – Are held when there is a raise in the fare of public transports and utility. Transport companies increase the fare of their public vehicles for gas prices have also raised. Keynote speakers are invited to talk during these rallies and strikes to motivate the people to fight for what they believe in. Usually the individuals participating in these transport strikes are the drivers and the citizens who take the public transportation system to work every day. They hold busses and trains by not letting them pick up passengers and sometimes encouraging people not to ride in these public transport vehicles.

Impeachment Rallies – There are rallies held in different countries in which they want their leaders or their president either to be overthrown or impeached. This is because of illegal and controversial activities that a prime minister or a president is involved in. One example is when the president of the Philippines, Joseph Ejercito Estrada was impeached by the people for his involvement in money laundering schemes and illegal gambling activities. During these rallies the keynote speakers were the archbishop and several other supporters of the impeachment case that is held against the former president. After that the ex president served time in jail for his crimes but was recently pardoned by former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from his crimes and is now a free man. Just goes to show how powerful the people are against a government.
