This union does not represent teachers, but pretty much all other school staff (education assistants, early childhood educators, office administrators, custodial staff)
Inflation wasn't far off of their ask, and i assume the logic was shoot high and settle mid or something along those lines
There you have it: inflation. If their wage increase is anything less than the inflation rate, it effectively means their wage is being lowered.
Anyway, regarding this "illegal" strike: if people are willing to risk so much for it, it tends to mean they've gotten to a point where they feel like they have nothing left to lose in the first place. This strike sends a pretty strong message.
