They would have had the support if they had done anything constructive to solve the problem. |
what’s your agenda? |
How many teachers participated in a strike today? The one everyone was worried about on Dcum? |
This is deliberately obtuse. The WTU is talking about a strike. They continue to talk about a strike as of today, as cited above. (Yeah, they are not saying the word "strike" because they want to have some magic ability to say not coming to work or not working to the terms of their contract in a collective way is not a "strike" but please.) |
Ok after numerous threads and lots of hysterics on both sides, how many teachers participated in the non-strike, collective action, but not a strike strike? The union can talk all they want. They are not striking/non-striking. Lots of people on this page are going to have to stop salivating over this. It’s not happening. |
Again, this is deliberately obtuse. There was no collective action called for today by WTU, although they continue to discuss it. Ergo, no one participated in a collective action that was not called today. This does not mean one will not be called for later in the week. I mean, I hope the union doesn't strike (or "strike"). But given they keep negotiating in bad faith and don't seem to accept the results of the recent arbiter's ruling, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. |
This was already cited above, but in case you missed it: https://www.wtulocal6.net/wtu_teachers_want_to_go_back_to_school They are considering a strike authorization vote this week. |
They are not and will not strike. Stop trying to stoke fear |
They said today they are considering taking a strike vote. That's straight from their press release. It's just facts. |
They were “considering taking a strike vote”. Do you understand how votes work or nah? |
Then the union can stop talking about it. There is literally a pending TRO to stop the union from striking, and they indeed went on strike in November. This is discussing current events, not "salivating." |
Liz Davis said today that the executive board will vote on what they want to do next. A strike vote, which is not illegal or binding in any way, is just one option. She also said she was instructing teachers to return to work today! It’s honestly ridiculous the number of parents that are absolutely wishing for a teacher strike. It seems like more parents than teachers! Do you want your kids in school or not?! |
So when are we allowed to discuss a strike, according to you? I assume you are somehow aligned with the union or teachers, so please explain to us, since you're so smart, how exactly we are supposed to interpret the pending TRO and the WTU's statements about strikes, as well as their history of striking. Please, lay out your analysis. |
It's honestly ridiculous that you can somehow blame concern about strikes on parents, instead of the union. Which is, you know, threatening to strike (like they did in November). |
Yeah, they are considering whether to strike. The steps to getting to a strike are: 1) deciding to take a vote whether or not to strike, and 2) taking a vote as to whether or to strike, 3) winning a vote to strike. The union is talking publicly about striking. This is true. If anyone is "stoking fears" about a strike, I would think it would be the people talking about striking, who would actually perform the strike. I suspect that we live in alternate universes where communication is not possible, though. Good luck to you. |
