Writer, learning has nothing to do with it. It's an extra job not part of your regular duties. You are compensated extra and separately. The end.
Another example?
Teacher A is a 6th grade math teacher and makes $50k.
Teacher B is also a 6th grade math teacher and makes $50k.
Teacher B is also the Head Varsity Football coach for $10k, Varsity track coach for $8k, and Junior Class Advisor for $3k.
Who has the higher TEACHER salary?
I'm sure there was a time when all of those "extra" things were included in a teacher's salary, and it was probably through the unions that they got "separated" for extra pay.
As for your last comment: Not everywhere, and not even in every public sector job. I did plenty of things in my jobs in the private sector that weren't technically part of my job duties, but I did it to help out co-workers, the company or both. It was part of being a team player.
Union members don't know what that even means. If it doesn't begin with the letter "I" it's not worth worrying about.
