That is why the teachers themselves are campaigning for lower class sizes. The wage thing is a combination of Union leaders playing their own game, and the Province knowing that dealing with a paper transaction of money is less work than figuring out a new class-size structure.

A simple wage raise would be a failure by the Union and a win by the Province. If this happens, the teachers should vote to remove the Union leadership.
