So 3% raise a year. The average inflation for the past 4 years is about 3%. So by your statement of freezing wages, you are actually saying you think teachers are overpaid, as they would receive a 3% pay cut each year due to inflation.
If you believe the pay of teachers is correct now, you should support the 12% wage increase. And if you believe working conditions need improving, then you support the teachers strike. |
I think teacher pay is reasonable, so am comfortable that the provinces offer on pay is also reasonable. I'm not advocating for a 0% pay increase. A pay increase of 3% per year looks reasonable to me.
Clearly the working conditions are not reasonable and substantially more funding is required.
