RE SHERYL Gardner's letter ("Teachers lose, again", 15/5): As a leading teacher who is one of the biggest winners out of the agreement, I am surprised that she thinks she has lost. The facts are that she will move from a salary of $72,314 to $78,019, effective May 11, 2008. This represents an immediate salary increase of 7.89%. Over the three years of the agreement her salary moves to $89,423 — an increase of 23.68%. I wonder how many Age readers would consider this a loss.
