The government can do one of two things.
1. Legislate the teachers back to work and force arbitration.
2. Legislate the teachers back to work using the notwithstanding clause.
My understanding is that doing the latter would be the first time the notwithstanding clause has been used to limit constitutionally protected collective bargaining rights.
