Justifying 10 months of 6.5 hour days for what the rest of us working 50-60h / week for 50 weeks a year would consider pretty good money just got a whole lot harder for teachers and their unions.

Wrong. As the child of a teacher, this is simply untrue. My mom works from about 7:30am to about 4:30pm at her school, then another 1-2 hours at home doing lesson plans, marking, and the like. Then, come report card time, most evenings and weekends are taken writing them.

I disagree with some of the work action, but also hearing the government and the union's sides, I can understand why some teachers are attempting this type of work action.
