Jordanian teachers’ strike success may embolden others


 Significance
 The government has been attempting to implement reforms aimed at addressing the country’s soaring public debt but has faced popular resistance. Most recently, strike action by the Jordanian Teachers Association (JTA) ended with Amman in October agreeing to a pay deal.
 
 
 Impacts
 Absent more rapid growth and development, Amman will be unable to implement IMF recommendations without triggering a backlash.
 The government will worry in particular about the possibility of industrial action by medical staff.
 Strike action may increase across the region’s authoritarian states as a vehicle for expressing anti-government sentiment.
