I guess you’d have to ask yourself which solution would be most conducive to both reaching an agreement and having the least impact on children. A strike but business as usual once it is resolved or working to rule for potentially years while students miss out on all sorts of extra curricular activities while the taxpayers pay the same amount for less service?

Admittedly (and clearly) I'm not familiar with labour disputes and the technicalities of various mechanisms, so thanks for the insight.
I think in general, parents want better work environments for teachers which in turn leads to better learning environments for children, so support for teachers (I think) starts off pretty high. (not Sliver, but even Cliff
)
As a parent, I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of what I think would be most effective while minimizing the erosion of public support for the teachers. Rightly or wrongly, it seems public opinions can swing quickly if the actions taken effect people
too much... Just look at the CP strike.
