AB teachers are the best paid in the country. I believe the NDP will in late 2018 / 2019 when they realize they are done lock in massive wage increases for all public sector unions, for ten years, as a parting gift. Under an NDP leadership any province is seriously hamstrung. Watch MB's election next month as they will likely be turfed after 16 years of mismanagement and waste. With luck, it will take only 4 in AB, but since neither WR nor PC party has shown any attempt to merge nor any serious attempt to discuss adult measures to balance a budget, such as introducing a PST, gasoline taxes or wage cuts in the public sector the jury is still out .. AB has a few painful 3-8 years to adjust to a low oil & gas world.
