[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1106039, member: 37112"] It is simple math and you're wrong. Under the accepted agreement a full timer working 45 hours a week would have [I]increased[/I] earnings of just under $22,577 from '97 to '02. Under the UPS "Last Best & Final" a full timer working 45 hours would have [I]increased[/I] earnings of $16,000 (using $3,060 as the bonus for the undetermined 4th year). Full time wage was just over $20 an hour in '97 so "lost" earnings equaled less than $2,900 using the 45 hour per week model at 15 days out. With the IBT negotiated wages each full timer received $3,677 more than the UPS offer and more importantly increased their base $1.60 above the UPS offer going forward. That's nearly $4K additional dollars in the first year of the '02 agreement. Every full time (and long term part time) benefitted from those days on the other side of the fence. That's why that strike was successful. [/QUOTE]
