This is why we are given an honorarium. No where in our initial contract for our salaried position is it included that we will mark all the exams in the province. This is why it is an insult when we do both jobs at the same time to cut our pay in half.

It's not an insult so don't be a baby. If you don't want to do it, then don't. Nobody is forcing you and you can't get fired from being a teacher so what's the problem? Some people don't mind putting in extra effort to do what needs to be done, and people like you do. Don't worry about it, the rest of us will take care of it.
I don't refer to my contract every time I'm posed with a new task because I'm a grown up and understand I need to go above and beyond when looking at the big picture of what my company needs to accomplish. Who else should be marking these tests? Of course it needs to be teachers.

This is then a second job within the same are of education for a different employer. This is why we have to ask the CBE for permission every time to do this and many schools do say no. Thus, it is NOT part of our 12 month contract. Hence the comparison with another job.

Quit worrying about who your employer is and look at who your customer is: students. It doesn't matter who signs your cheque; your job of educating and grading students hasn't changed.
And holy crap, here you are again with the "it is NOT part of our 12-month contract". Guy, people that work in the real world are expected to be somewhat flexible to accomplish what needs to be done within their organization. Did I go to university for four years to become a writer so I could stay late five nights in a row putting marketing message stickers on water bottles? Of course not, but after my day job is done I am occasionally required to help in other areas of our business so the company as a whole accomplishes what it needs to do. You have completely lost sight of the bigger picture of what is required of you and, frankly, it's ridiculous.
