Just reading now that teachers in the USA are also in their second week of strike demanding a salary hike and other remuneration packages before they call the strike off.They are demanding a 3% salary hike for the first year....coincidentally in Kenya the teachers too have been on strike for two weeks now demanding a humongous salary increment of 300% comparing the two economies one gets really shocked of demands of the latter

The average pay for a teacher in California is $55,693 pa or Ksh. 395,000 per month. A brand new corolla costs just $16,000. His 4 month pay is more than enough to buy the new car. In Kenya a teacher earns Ksh 13,000. Rent in kayole is 7,000. How does he survive? A kenyan teacher would need to work for over 100 yrs to afford the corolla. And he is doing the same job as his US counterpart. A 300% increase on 13k is still peanuts. http://www.educationworld.net/salaries_us.html
