Likewise if teachers don't like the pay/conditions, they should leave to work elsewhere.
But the strike should end.

I really wish you would spend a bit of time reading the earlier posts before you comment. You seem to have a habit of coming up with conclusions that were literally addressed in earlier posts.
The UCP did offer “enhanced mediation” if teachers would return back to work on Sept 20. Thing is, the UCP also said that the condition for the enhanced mediation was that the mediator was not allowed to talk about class size and complexity- literally the reason teachers are striking.
So predictably, the union said “no” and the UCP said “we offered mediation and they won’t cooperate!”
