Possibly I am being overly cynical, but I would have a much higher opinion
of the teachers' views of the students if they had been on strike for
better facilities and smaller classes, rather than simply more money.
It may well be the case that individual teachers care for their students
and deplore the situation, but the union management clearly doesn't share
those feelings.
