What Busboy said, and
I am not looking at it as a monetary benefit for gain. I am looking at it to evaluate the LOA package. Do you think the company hasn't figured out what it will cost? Shouldn't the Union figure out how much it will cost fred? Shouldn't the voters have some knowledge of total package costs? While we are not playing poker; it is ok to ask to see the hole card. It is even better if you count the aces on your own.
Tax Equalization is a very good part of the package (and necessary for CDG or CAN). The more senior you are the better it is.
