Now it’s going to be min guarantee averaged, which in Texas per week is a little over $180 a week. I can’t survive on that, so while our “jobs” were saved, it really was a bust. I could have been getting $4000 a month off of unemployment, way more than sticking around. If the reduced minimum goes through and then they furlough it will be even worse. Talking around $100 per week for unemployment. Guys, something to think about. If you keep lowering the pay, the unemployment insurance goes so low, you can’t afford to even use it. Your intention was to help save jobs, but you put the poor FO’s in a weird and financially dangerous position.
