Not like this is a bad thing. This is why I dislike politicians and unions. Neither have the best interests of the greater good in mind (generalized statement, I don't think ALL are like this). Unions think workers should automatically get pay raises. To help cover the "cost of living" increases, which is a half-lie.
How about getting pay raises for actually doing exceptional work? Merit raises, what a novel concept. And right now our education system needs a massive overhaul. Union contracts are the least of the worries. We need funding for everything, not just salaries. Schools are getting chopped. WASL isn't the stunning benchmark they thought it would be.
How about teachers get a "royalty" bonus when a kid graduates high school? And another with a college degree? Just a random idea to shake things up a bit. It may work, it may not.
There are bigger things to worry about than getting a "mandatory" raise right now in our country.
