And that's NOT INCLUDING soft stupid pay. People need to stop saying "you can't credit 83, its a paycut", instead of telling people to pick up trips, if the union can explain this simple math to people, which apparently a lot can't see for themselves, they might actually get some "yes".
I think the union should post another email explaining what you would have to work for credit to get paid the same as now. That would definitely change some minds. A pot of people are still under the impression they have to work 83.
