BCTF strike nothing more than a money grab

Dear editor, I am tired the BCTF saying its demands are only for the benefit of children when it is purely a chance to grab more money.

Dear editor,I am so tired of hearing the BCTF saying that their demands are only for the benefit of the children when everyone knows it is purely a chance to grab more money?What have teachers in this province done to justify demanding a 15-per-cent pay increase?In the real world you have to produce more or cut costs or improve performance to justify a pay increase.What the teachers have is a monopolistic union that can hold the public to ransom to meet their demands. "Pay up or your kids will suffer." It is just typical of the ongoing mantra of the public service unions in this province — less work, more pay.  Bruce Ellis,Courtenay
