Teachers have routinely worked without a contract many times in the past and this is exactly what will happen in this case. However, they are insanely pissed off by the way this "bargaining" has unfolded and many may not go back to work now even if ordered or may continue to organize wild cat strikes or rolling stoppages. It is just utterly deplorable that the Smith, Nicolaides, Horner refuse to even negotiate on things that every other province has. They are purely terrible humans who have no concern for classroom conditions or anything that may put in jeopardy their ability to fund other O&G or private industry pet projects for their cronies.
What is going to be the likeliest scenario is the majority begrudgingly return to work at the end of the month when legislated, but in a work to rule capacity. This means no extra curriculars such as coaching, field trips, interviews, clubs or marking exams etc outside of teachable hours.
I've said it before, now is the time parents. If you care at all about your kids education you need to take a stand or it's going to be too late. Smith and co don't care one bit about this and refusing to even negotiate while this continues for another 13 days should rightly anger everyone put out by this. If you're hoping on more mediation, that is just a complete joke that will go nowhere again.
