[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like they’re still considering a strike. https://www.wtulocal6.net/wtu_teachers_want_to_go_back_to_school[/quote]

Oh no!  Let have another 30 pages where everyone says the same thing over and over again until nothing happens. Then let’s find a new wtu outrage and start over. [/quote]

what’s your agenda?[/quote]

How many teachers participated in a strike today?   The one everyone was worried about on Dcum?[/quote]

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.)[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

They are not and will not strike.  Stop trying to stoke fear [/quote]

They said today they are considering taking a strike vote.  That's straight from their press release.  It's just facts.[/quote]

They were “considering taking a strike vote”. Do you understand how votes work or nah?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
