Some subjects are mandatory, while others are merely permitted or even prohibited.

Although money is important, many teachers value their work on a higher level than the rather small pay raise. If they can't give us more money why can't they use other ways to make the job more attractive. Seems like the absolutely worst time to try to wring concessions from the union. Unless of course, someone is just trying to ramp up the confrontation for political purposes.
