"Very good news."

I agree, especially if it turns out to be true.

I am expecting APPO to attempt something to prevent the teachers from returning. The "call for an investigation" mentioned in the above article suggests to me that APPO may be preparing a justification for some kind of action on their part. As to what that might be, I don't know, but it would have to be aimed at Section 22 of the SNTE.

I would not be surprised to see APPO and Section 22 dissidents come forth very soon and declare the vote to end the strike invalid and to move to replace Rueda Pacheco and/or his entire leadership team or possibly even to declare the entirety of Section 22 dissolved and/or reformed under new auspices. They also might entertain the possibility of seizing the schools to prevent their reopening. That would be difficult, but APPO has a lot of "foot soldiers" to call upon, and they may even get help from the PRD in bringing in supporters from outside Oaxaca if they attempt that.

I'll believe this is over when it's over and not until then.

Thanks again. Paycheck trumps ideology. Not surprising though that one side clearly lost the vote, but now they want an investigation. What the left can't win at the ballot box they achieve through the courts.
