You shouldn't be allowed to strike. The public sector profession I'm in is considered an "essential service" and our CBA legally denies the right to strike. I'd say teachers should fall under essential services as well. During one negotiation we didn't have a contract for close to 3 years, we did eventually get a fair contract and got some sweet retro pay, which I personally feel was fair compensation for not working with a contract for 3 years. Don't try to make your point on the backs of our children/future. And before you think I'm just picking on faceless teachers, both my mom and aunt are public schoolteachers.
