"Our message for the unions is to say this is not a time to strike," he said."This is the time to try and negotiate." The country is facing strikes every day this month in the run up to Christmas, with workers from the rail network, buses, postal service, health sector and schools staging walkouts in their quest for higher wages as the country faces a cost of living crisis.Asked if the military could be used to fill in roles, he said:"We’re looking at the military.
