I think the argument was less specifically about the increases/lack thereof in their pay, but that they as a whole are overpaid for the number of hours on the job they do (including grading/report cards). With seniority you can clear $100k easily as a public teacher and only have to work 2/3 of the year with a handsome pension to boot. .
And yes, lots of us work unpaid overtime, so the grading/report card excuse isn't that relevant.
