ABSTRACT
This paper is on industrial harmony. Specifically the paper focuses on agreements and rules violation; lack of good fate by parties in industrial relations.  In this paper parties of industrial relations are employers, employees and government.  These parties operates within the confines of established agreement and rules (law) that governs their existence. However, as noted in this paper some of these laws are violated and thus hampering the existence of industrial harmony.  Specifically, Section 251 and other related Sections of Nigerian Constitution clearly outline some of such labour laws.  This paper further stress that a breach of these laws by parties result into a show of lack of good fate.
It was revealed among others, that a lack of trust could lead to violation of agreements and rules and limits the existence of industrial harmony.  Consequently, it was concluded among others that good cooperative working conditions fueled by the spirit of trust among workers can lead to industrial harmony.  It was therefore recommended among others that parties of industrial relations must respect and adhere to mutual agreements and rules once reached.
Keywords: Industrial harmony, industrial relations, agreement and rules violation, employers and employees.

We used the perspective of critical mathematics education to examine how mathematics is constructed in reporting climate change. We took into consideration the importance of mathematical modelling. Our discussion is referenced by a newspaper report and a policy document. In ourargument, human mathematical activity and the role of human activity in causing climate change are all largely invisible.  Mathematics education has an important role to play in making the invisible visible.
