The union countered by asking for a 30 percent pay raise over two years, followed by a request for a 25 percent increase over two years. Just weeks ago, Lewis told delegates the union had adjusted its demand and was asking for a 19 percent pay raise in the contract's first year.
I know the tactic is to ask for more than what you will settle for but what planet are they living on?
Unless you are a teacher you have no idea what teachers deal with on a day to day basis. Why anyone would want to become a teacher with the low pay they receive is beyond me. Teachers don't get into this profession to become rich. They do it because they care. But no one seems to appreciate them and just blame them for everything.

Sounds like you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. Why the crying after the fact?
Irony alert: liberal social policies and the breakdown of the family lead to students and conditions that liberal teachers complain about.
Luckily, we don't need to know what motivates them. All we need to know is that enough teachers can be had at $x per yr and that if a municipality is paying $(x+y) per yr, then the teachers are being overpaid $y.
Not only is this a great equation for teachers but it's great for all employees. It doesn't matter if they're wiping runny noses, risking their lives, or collecting tolls. The only question is whether or not a comparable quality of product can be had for less money.
