Started out to be an insult to the teachers.
Then it was a slap in the face.
Now its a 'direct assault'.
I predict the language will escalate further:
The province honorium reduction is an anal gangraping of teachers.
then,
The province has performed a holocaust, a cultural genocide on the teachers of Alberta.

It's the idea that teachers will just do it any way because they care about the kids that is the insult.
You do a job for your O&G company. The next year, the company comes to you and says "We really need you to do this job again this year. It's integral for us as a business that it get completed, and everyone in the company is relying on you to do it. The whole year will have been a waste of time if you don't do this job, that's how important it is."
"We've also decided that we are going to cut the wage for this job in half."
Do you or do you not feel slighted?
I can't think of a time where I've had a boss come to me and say 'we're cutting your wage in half for the same job and expect you to still do it, but if you don't, that's no sweat off our back, we'll spend more money to get someone else to do it for worse results instead of paying you what we paid last year.'
I don't even think Sliver would do his job for half the wage, even if it meant the bottling machine broke and became unusable as a result, costing everyone else their jobs.
This is on top of things becoming more difficult for teachers anyway. Not only do they work long hours, spend their own money on their students, but now they're supposed work for half wage as well?
I can't imagine an Engineer doing that.
