The teachers in my area pay nothing for health insurance and pay no copay at the doctor and have been screaming to high heavens at the suggestion that they join the rest of society in paying a share of their healthcare costs.

At a school I worked at on Saturday night, they have a timer, scorer, and 2 supervisors that all make more for the evening than the varsity officials do ($66 vs. $60). They all work a JV/V tilt, but they don't exactly have to run or do any heavy lifting. From what I told, there are people in the district willing to do this work on a volunteer basis, but union rules prohibit it.
