Hmmm. Is this about shutting down the non-teaching staff as well?

Because the government can now control their return to work, which gives them some power. If the teachers start deciding they want to get as paycheque again, they can no longer just go back. Which means if they really want a pay cheque, they are more likely to accept a ####ty deal.
I think this is a bit of a sign the govenrment doesn't care how long this goes no for or the harms caused. I wouldn't be surprised if the UCP is happy how this is unfolding, because it gives them more tools to destroy public education. You can basically write their talking points going forward. If no one is teaching, why fund it at all, right? The money should follow the student, and they can take it to whatever private schools are operating and not have education held hostage by a union and greedy teachers.
You have to remember these people are extremely stupid, but also highly motivated. And they've had these same vapid ideas floating around their heads for decades, they just needed enough morons to give them the power to do it. Thanks, morons.
