Teachers, do you feel like most of your coworkers wanted to strike?

I don't know, I didn't really have any conversations about it. Almost all of my colleagues appeared to be fine with being back in the school. I do think that most teachers don't care about the union at all and are completely checked out (which has been stated before.) The outcome of the vote is really telling.

I guess teachers got the memo that society has had more than ENOUGH

If there was any real intent to strike, the vote would have happened before IPL started last week. Instead, the union knew there weren’t the votes to support a strike, but held the vote to appease the militants who wanted to strike.

I don't think it's that. Most teachers want to be in the classroom with students and know that distance learning is useless. The union leadership is bad and wasted all the effort on supporting messaging that most didn't agree with.

More people on this forum are anted the teachers to strike than teachers.

That’s not true across the country. There have been articles about parents supporting the union.

Parents: Oh wow is WTU going to strike?

The WTU announces that they will vote on whether to strike.

Parents: Hmmm is WTU going to strike?

The WTU takes a vote on whether to strike, which does not pass.

Parents: Phew!

Odd teacher on DCUM: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? You parents were all just fear-mongering with your discussion of the WTU striking!

Uh people in this forum are pretty nasty to teachers. I mean I would love for my kids to go back to school but I also am concerned about cleanliness and air quality. Why wouldn’t teachers be too?!

Psh, I know right. And yet many parents on this forum were like you evil witch teachers are going to strike!!! No ma'am.

your union **held a vote** on whether to strike. for the life of me I can’t understand how you turn this around to somehow prove something about parents? if you’re mad at the perception that teachers might strike, maybe ... I dunno ... blame the Union that call the strike vote?
