A striking Quebec teachers union says it won’t give in to “emotional blackmail” from the premier after he asked them to return to work for the good of their students.

Premier François Legault told reporters in Quebec City on Dec. 1 that he wants the teachers to think of the children who are being harmed by the strike, now into its second week.
