Interesting comment about percentage of unionized employees vs single income households. Will dig into that a bit.
I should have also said that I came from a household of two teachers, one was packaged out due to age in the 90’s to make way for the next generation and the other is still very much employed on the public funded Alberta virtual school side.

I think you're bang on that the school model is probably outdated. Funding has not kept up, which is why this arbitration deal is a win - $20 million of funding per year to deal with classroom complexities compared to the $0 before. Probably just a drop in the bucket, but it's a start.
