Efforts to restart negotiations in the B.C. teachers’ strike that were made Thursday have yet to yield any concrete results, increasing speculation the government has other plans to get the teachers back to work.

But on Friday morning, there was no sign from either side that a new round of actual negotiations has been scheduled.

Meanwhile, there are more signs government plans to legislate the teachers back to work if a deal is not reached by Oct. 6 when the legislature resumes sitting.
