I don't know anyone in the O&G industry who makes that kind of money outside of VPs and C-level individuals.

You can't have a one way street and claim that wages need to go up "to remain competitive in the labour market", and then refuse to adjust when that same labour market benchmark takes a dump. Perhaps instead of continuous wage increases they could have been paid an comparable base salary within their industry and be paid a yearly "market adjustment" bonus on top of that - that's how a lot of us get paid. I very much doubt the teacher's union would go for that though.
