I can only assume your comment on them being fairly paid was based on prior knowledge of their compansation structure...................oops never mind I forgot who I was dealing with.

I do.
My friend started at 63 K a year. She gets all the usual teacher vacation time and of course, the incredible pension and job security. She does some work from home but it's light, no stress work (I'm sure some teachers do have stressful work like personalized lesson plans to take home too, but so do many other professions). Grading papers and setting up next day lesson plans. No complaints from her though, she loves it and she deals with the poorest kids in Edmonton. Often goes out and buys them lunch out of her own pocket.
I don't have a problem with how much they make. Like I said, I wouldn't be against a small pay bump as their job is important. Individually replacable, but an important profession.
I have a problem with the CONSTANT whining and strike threats every few years like they're exempt from all economic turmoil and like they're the only ones that have to deal with pay cuts and tough jobs. That's unions for you though. They can't justify their existence without complaining.
