[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1166092, member: 11246"] Well thanks for the numbers. So lets add that into my calculations. Lets use your "lower number" of $700 a week. Lets also use your increase of $40.00 a week. That comes to an increase of 5.79%.......over 5 years. That comes to about a mean increase of 1.15% a year over the course of 5 years. So we have established, based on your numbers, that we are getting an additional 1.15% annual increase towards H&W and pension. We have also established that our hourly wage will go up 2.30% annually. That means, using the two percentages calculated, that our TOTAL increase in pay (including H&W) is only going up by ONLY 1.725% annually. Worse then I had first calculated and FAR below the average rate of inflation. Almost half of the average rate of inflation. I am using your numbers. If I left anything out, or if anyone wants to add other figures, please let me know. I do not feel as though a 1.725% annual increase in total compensation is what we deserve. This is below inflation. Bottom line, we are being compensated less with this new contract being that it does not keep up with inflation. [/QUOTE]
