Like many people working outside of education, the cost of living has exceeded the raises people deserve, no matter what the profession.
Teachers constantly demanding raises? Teachers settle on contracts that run over three year periods. The nature of contractual negotiations would lead one to believe they are constantly seeking more money.
Teachers are seeking to survive, like anyone else. They are looking for compensasion for the job they do. During the school year, most teachers are working hours before school begins and hours after their day has "ended". people throw the time off in their faces, but I can assure you that it is necessary for recharging of the batteries.
