The situation

About 57,000 Ontario school board workers in CUPE's school board council vote on a strike mandate from 4 to 18 November, and teachers' unions vote this month too. Contracts expired at the end of August, talks with the province have stalled, and a mandate needs more than half the votes but does not by itself mean a strike.

What the simulation expects

This is the simulation’s read, not a forecast that it is right.

How scoring works

You have 8 turns. You win by bringing the table to at least 68% support. Your points come from how much of the table you bring around, with each person counted by how much their view carries. Each turn you say one thing. The table moves on what you say; reach 68% to win. Every turn is re-checked from the moves you made, so the score can be reproduced.

A limited number of turns are free. After that, each turn costs credits. The game shows what you have left before you spend anything.
