iStock 000023897960SmallLook around you and you’ll see three kinds of people – those who hate their work, and complain bitterly, those who just tolerate their work and see it as a paycheck and aren’t looking for more (or feel they can’t have more), and finally, those who love their work, and relish it. 

The third category is a small subset of all professionals globally, but this group stands out because these are, most often, the people who change the world for the better.

Dan Miller, former NDP Premier points out the lunacy of the BCTF & Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson’s thinking.

While the BCTF demands higher wages & benefits it actually opposes resource development & the revenue it produces that would pay those demands. 

 
Miller straightforwardly asks Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson where he thinks the Federal & Provincial money is going to come from to meet his Billion dollar infrastructure requests without any revenues from resource industries like Coal, Oil & Gas?

A typical Teacher/Environmentalist response;

Why are coal miners well paid?

I wonder if former NDP premier Dan Miller sees the irony in his comments about teachers in his op-ed on Sunday.

He suggests they have no right to ask for salary increases of 13 per cent while at the same time pushing for studies into coal shipments and health. He suggests that taxation on coal shipments will help pay their salaries. He then notes that coal companies pay average wages estimated in 2011 of $95,000 per year.

Of course, teachers make nowhere near that kind of money. (Salary in Nechako is 73 + 18 in benefits = $91,000 Editor Money Talks) Is it not the role of such educated professionals to suggest we research anything that may be harmful to the health of students, or our planet?

I wonder if the $95,000 a year coal industry worker would last a day in one of today’s classrooms?

Why is it okay for coal miners to earn such vast sums and for B.C. teachers to be paid so much less than teachers in other parts of Canada?
