Neither side was willing to budge from their positions, nor did they offer any compromises. Most teachers closed ranks, and those teachers who did not agree to strike were ostracized. Bad feelings lingered for years, and the negotiations process continued to be negatively affected. In addition, bad feelings continued among the teachers who did and did not strike.
