Is the Party Really Over for Ontario Teachers?
HAMILTON: For years it has been argued that pensions for teachers are deferred salary to make up for low base pay. When defined benefit pensions were created in the Public Service that may have been a feasible argument, but today, public servants, especially teachers, are very well compensated. A new report from Fair Pensions For All shows that teachers in Ontario are among the highest paid teachers in the world. So much for deferred salary.- Thursday, August 23, 2012
