Do they own it or are they just the investors? All I can find is the home is owned in Ontario.
It's a huge place, and fair sized staff, but nothing is mentioned about nurses. It does say 'practical nurses' but they are not full fledged 'nurses'. I'm wondering if they hired practical nurses to do the work of nurses so they could be paid less.
The same Ontario Teachers who went on an illegal strike last month:
By the way;
Annual starting salary for a new teacher at lowest and highest pay rates: $45,709, $55,404
Salary for a teacher with more than 10 years of service at the lowest and highest pay rates: $76,021, $94,707
Teachers are credited for 20 sick days per year.
Teachers have an extended health-care plan that is 100-per-cent funded by the employer and dental plan funded 94 per cent by the employer. They also have group life insurance coverage, with the first $35,000 of coverage paid by the board and any additional coverage paid by the teacher.
Teachers receive a pension based on their years of service and their best five years’ average salary. A teacher who retires with a full pension, worked for 32 years and earned a best-five-years average salary of $60,000 would have a basic pension of $38,400. A teacher earning $90,000 a year with 32 years of service would have an annual pension of $57,600.
...and the list goes on.
Fair?
Fair?
Depends on how you look at it....what you are comparing it to....what degrees they have....where they work....etc etc.
I'm not defending teachers....just saying.
".what you are comparing it to...."
The folks who work for them and have not had a raise in years - original post!
"Most of the teachers would only have a very limited knowledge of where their money is invested. It is unlikely that too many of them bother to read the financial statements, as long as the results are good."
And that is the problem!
Investors need a social concience. That applies to teachers too. I am not suggesting they should insist that all workers in the businesses they invest in should make big wages with tons of benefits like they do. Just fairness.
To let low wage earners go without any raise or cost of living adjustments for years may be necessary at time for some businesses to survice. That is not the case here. It is greed. Nothing but greed.
Should teachers invest in tobacco companies - whose products kill millions of people - just because they can get a good return on their investment? Or mines in Africa where miners earn next to nothing?

Well as Kevin Leary would say and did say on the TV show the Dragons……”I don’t care what it is, I only want to make moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”.
But you are correct….there should be far more of a ‘social conscience’. But do people have a social conscience anymore? Every day I look around me and I look on the computer and I don’t see much of it left......and then if you do have a conscience....you get attacked and ridiculed for it.
"……”I don’t care what it is, I only want to make moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”."
That's OK for Kevin to put his money wherever he wants.
The question is: "Should Ontario teachers do ?" or should they be held to a higher standard?
"I don’t see much of it left......"
Maybe, just maybe, you are looking at the wrong thing or the wrong place.

That’s true. The problem is…..he and many others teach other people the same concept and he is idolized and quoted by many. Then on one hand those ‘students’ not only follow his example and that of others and they say “leave me alone to do with my money what I wish”…..and the people say “yes that is your right”. But then a situation arises and the same people say to others “that is not your right, you shouldn’t put your money there”.
There are many people who have ‘investments’ in many forms and I wonder if they reallllllly know where all the money goes? I think not….and probably hope they never know, because ignorance is bliss.
Maybe, just maybe, you are looking at the wrong thing or the wrong place.
No I don’t think so. You will notice I used the word “much” meaning there are still those who restore my faith in humanity. I met one just the other day…..a man in his late 60’s going to Africa with his 70 year old sister to help the unfortunate of a village. No they have no religious ties, or political ties, just two people who are doing their part. He went to a store and bought every soccer ball in the store and then had them deflated and he is packing them in three large suitcases. The children of the village now play soccer with stones. The soccer balls will not change their lives but they will make them a little happier. His sister is taking other things the village needs. I am grateful to meet people like that and others who have a conscience, but I also see those who do not and they seem to advertise their hated and racism and bigotry in the world with great zeal and as some have said …..they are even ‘proud’ to be who they are!!! Which reminds me I have something I have been working on and haven’t completed.
They have no conscience mikey.
''Those who do not fight against hatred and bigotry, give it permission to continue.''
