"I sure as heck won't vote for anything less than 100% retro pay"

Please explain how you come up with your valuation of retro-pay.

Here's one way:

Annual pay: $100,000
Two years since amendable date and assume a 20% raise:

Year one = $20,000
Year two = $24,000
Total = $44,000

Make it $200,000 and the totals = $88,000

Now it's your turn.
