自己可以古狗一下，Ontario Teachers hourly rate. 可以看到以下《财经邮报 Financial Post》的一篇文章：
安省教师： $78
宇航工程师： $40
兽医： $38
土木工程师： $37
ＨＲ专家： $28
网站设计开发：$25
记者： $24
另外美国的教师：$41
注意这些说的都是平均数，而不是最高工资。另外还没算福利。《财经邮报》的文章说，如果加上福利，教师小时工资是$100。而其他工程师则没有这种集体福利。
当然，老师是很重要的，教师关系到孩子的未来，教育关系到一个国家的未来。对比希腊等欧洲国家，加拿大算是不错的了；对比其他省份，安省教育算是最好的了。教师应该知足。

Excessive teachers’ wages a boondoggle we can’t ignore

Which group of 70,000 Ontario civil servants is paid slightly more than $78 per hour?
To put it in perspective, the average Canadian aerospace engineer earns about half of this, at $40 per hour; veterinarians $38; civil engineers $37; HR specialists $28; Web designers and developers $25; and journalists, I am afraid to say, just $24, less than one-third of this group.
So which group of public employees must Ontario taxpayers be so generous toward?
Let me provide some hints. Relative to these earnings, this position requires modest education, limited qualifications, there is relatively weak competition to obtain entrance, it has limited barriers to entry and its members enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle (even apart from their wages).
The answer: teachers.
My figure is based upon information provided by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario as to the required minimum days worked per year, hours per day and average annual remuneration. Elementary teachers make up more than 70,000 of the 114,000 teachers. The rest are secondary school teachers, whose average hourly wage for the time they are required to work, based on more limited information from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, is the still surprisingly high sum of $68.73.
Teachers may protest that they work much longer hours than what is required by their collective agreements. That is undoubtedly true for many. But employees in other vocations similarly take work home. And, in terms of the necessity to perform additional work, preparation time is already negotiated into teachers’ collective agreements as part of their required minimum work day.
The point is that teachers, like other civil servants, are not required to work longer than the amounts negotiated for them by their unions. Once they have taught the same courses for a certain number of years, many likely feel no need to, particularly since their collective agreements make it virtually impossible to fire them for weak pedagogical skills.
Although I note a simple hourly wage of $78, teachers’ real wages are much higher. First, there are the gold-plated civil service benefits. Then the sick days they can accumulate and be paid out for up to six months wages. But most important, after a combination of age and years of service totalling 85, teachers as early as 55 can retire and be paid 60% of their salary for life. And they can earn this while working somewhere else.
This makes their effective hourly rate exceed $100 per hour. No such luck for aerospace engineers (or journalists).
工会是不是太霸道：老师志愿活动也管？
