Smh.
We should be demanding more from them to pay the teachers.

Is this satire? Trades wages in O&G are even less than they were when I got my ticket in 2011...14 years of wage stagnation/deflation has been pretty rough. The average journeyman rate is around 45$/hr. 94k/yr (including 4% vacation pay) for the trades guys + ~6$/hr pension contribution if you're in the union. Also no paid sick days, PTO or flex days.
If you see tradesman pulling down 150k+ its because they put in massive overtime hours to get there. But yup, wwwwaaayyyy overpaid, heck they make almost as much per hour as a 5th year teacher.
Sorry for the derail. All people should be sticking together instead of watching the middle class collapse. I think wages across the board in all industries are a joke - companies raking in billions in profits while nickel and diming all their employees is gross. Easier just to finger point at who's getting screwed more I guess.
