Last time I checked Newton was within the 495 belt around the city and is connected to Boston by mass transit. This blog covers things all around greater Boston. Are you just suddenly realizing that now?

In my humble opinion .
That being said, I know nothing about the ins and outs of Newton Teachers demands.

I didn't tell people to breed children and stick them in a school system.
Strike away. Time for people with too much money to swallow a bitter pill.
Why?

Are they second class citizens not deserving of the same rights as everyone else?

It is illegal, but they did it anyway. Shows you how dire the situation must be.
The penalties are minimal

When other districts have gone in strike, the penalties to the union have been small compared to their contract gains. There's no much in the way of downsides to the teachers; they aren't going to be forced back into the classroom by police. (Nor should they be.)

For many years politicians wasted taxpayer money trying to look tough on unions.

Could it be the effects of the pandemic lockdown?
This was already a thing pre-pandemic.

Remember that she's talking about this against a 30 year timeline. If it were just a pandemic thing, she's be more specific.
She is more specific

One of the unions demands is to hire more social workers because she’s seeing an uptick in mental health issues today.
Ah yes, very specific.

By "today", she must have meant that particular day. So it can't be the pandemic, because that started 4 years ago.
Well...

We do know that nobody who died from COVID is suffering from mental health issues.

"the pandemic lockdown" is everybody's favorite Judas goat.
