You’re right, it’s too much too fast. But I think part of the bargaining process is asking for more to settle for less, though they aren’t even willing to entertain the idea of classroom size caps.
In any case, they can definitely starve us out, but then the government shouldn’t go all surprised pikachu face when they have a hard time retaining and attracting teachers for the next 4 years.
