More than the welder who saved up $100,000 for a welding rig and works in a fab tent for the rest of his life? I'm not sure, you can ask the teachers if they would swap jobs I guess.
This is probably true of any industry, no? Just seems odd to point the finger at O&G and instead of saying teachers should make more, O&G workers should make less lol. Anyways I agree with sticking together. I work in O&G and haven't spoken to a single person here who isn't in support of the teachers, and teachers' in general. The major I work at is also supporting people who need help with childcare (letting people work from home, extra days off, do what they can to accommodate, etc.) I guess it's just a little off putting to see all these people including myself championing the teachers only to get thrown under the bus with misinformation.

My original post was satire lol. I also work in O&G and my wife is a teacher. All of my colleagues I speak to are 100% behind the teachers as well.
It ticks me off that this government is always willing to move heaven and earth for O&G but it's fighting tooth and nail for healthcare and education.
Welfare for the billion dollar corporations but #### all for the public sector. And her base eats it up day and night.
