    Hmm, “Illegal to strike” sounds a lot like “forced labor”.

    The fuck they gonna do, chain them to a desk? Newsflash assholes, jailing teachers isn’t gonna fucking put them back in classrooms.

        The city can hire cheaper people, but not teachers. That’s been the problem the last few years - not enough teachers (because they’re treated and paid like shit), so the requirements to stand in front of a class continue to drop.

            I partly agree with you. Mostly on that on matters of this that they had a plan, and wasn’t just wonton aggression against education. That is, their only plan was for the results, not the methodology.

        I have a feeling that we’re already skewing this way nationally with low pay and high academic requirements.

        “Fun” fact: Reagan’s little stunt with the air traffic controllers left the government with a severe shortage in talent and experience in air traffic controllers for a good decade afterwards. Turns out you can’t just fire everyone in the country who does a given job without consequences, particularly with a job that is high stress.
