That's a lot, considering that they have ridiculous amount of holidays, not to mention the summer break. Few OTs, low pressure.

If 75k is the upper bracket then I don't think it's much at all.

But if the majority are making 75k, with the following applicable

- 3 months of summer holiday a year
- reading break, longer winter holidays, etc
- supreme job security
- collective bargaining power
- low pressure and OT (relative to an equivilently compensated job from a private company)

then that's absolutely crazy, especially because they are getting paid out of taxpayer's dime! If we look at how much a 75k teacher make in per hours terms, then it'll probably take someone who works 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (minus vacations) well over 100k to match that kind of hourly rate.

my job is like that. Actually more like 10%

Avg > 10% increase every year here so far, and above 75k..... but not GUARENTEED... not no pressure... don't have 3 months off every year... no collective bargaining... and tons of OT....

Yeah I know your job is awesome, want some referal bonus?

Exactly, the problem here is EVERYONE OF THEM gets a raise, even the SUCKERS that 快樂牛郎 speaks of. And they want to work less at the same time as getting paid more. Otherwise they blackmail you with your kds' education, go on strike etc.

It's their right to demand more and want to work less. But it's also my right to curse them and vote the NDP asses out of office the best I can. It'll be very tough for me to stand by their POV, unless I become a teacher myself.
