The "fair compensation" the teachers were offered was $30/hour. The union defined "fair" as $90/hour, for teachers at a school where half the students are failing every subject. I wouldn't normally like this outcome due to its arbitrary nature, but the teachers decided to stand together and let their union negotiate for them. They can also stand together and accept the consequences of that decision.
