Is it fair to ignore the fact that they have only gotten a 5% raise in the last 10 years? No, that is absurd and any other worker in that situation would be equally mad about their pay.
Is it fair to ignore the fact that their working conditions have been decimated by their employer? No, anyone who has worked piled on them without an increase in pay would "burn out" and quit to find an employer that doesn't suck.
I am not a teacher and I do not speak for teachers but as a worker, I wholeheartedly feel that teachers are being treated terribly by the government, specifically the UCP, as well as the UCP supporters who are too self absorbed and uninformed to understand or care about the situation until it directly impacts them.
