Teachers entitled to a fair contract

You wrote that multiple financial wrongs will not make a right, and teachers know from experience they are the first to suffer with financial problems ("U-46 teachers should say 'yes' to good deal," Oct. 7 editorial).

Then you send a veiled threat that the teachers enjoy the public's respect for absorbing changes and might lose this if they disagree and vote no.

Teachers are collaborative, by nature and are entitled to a fair agreement that is truly fair to both sides, not just to the superintendent! This is corporate greed at the highest level!

You wrote that the teachers would insult the taxpayers by rejecting this proposal. The insult is asking a group of professionals to accept an ambiguous contract when they receive much less compensation than professionals in other fields and are charged with the formation of our future leaders!
