[QUOTE="Just A UPS Guy, post: 5624232, member: 73174"] Where you and a few others get into the weeds is by not looking at things relatively, you have to compare apples to apples. You're right, ABF made $290M and their workers got $6.50 over the life if the contract. If you take those numbers and compare directly, they have 8,600 workers, we have 340,000. 340 ÷ 8.6 = 39.535 8.6k workers made $290M, and we have about 39.5 for every one of theirs. Take they're $290M and break it down per employee. 290,000,000 ÷ 8,600 = $33,720.93 profit per employee. $33,720.93 × 340,000 = $11.465B $13.2B ÷ $11.465B = 1.1426% more profit per employee. $6.50 raise directly correlated... $6.50 × 1.1426 = $7.427 in raises. This is your comparison, and this is how you math it. That said, I'd like to see at least $8.50 which is +/- 20% [/QUOTE]
