“That was wrong, that was unacceptable, and that ends now,” he said. “Given the hard work you do, you will get fair pay, you will get what you deserve and at the same time we will protect the city’s long term fiscal health.”
The union’s 6,000 members will receive an average 2-percent raise annually through 2019 and a $1,000 bonus when the contract is ratified.

That certainly doesn't happen anywhere else.
I mean look at that principal who wore a fur coat and drove to school in a new Mercedes.
Funny thing is that she rarely even set foot in the school.
What are the principals supposed to do?
Drive to school in a 4 year old Mercedes?
Only some kind of monster would subject such paragons of virtue to such horrors.
