I sure won’t vote for any deal that puts $23m/17,500 in my pocket every month (roughly $1k after tax). I probably make ten times that solving the daily gummster fires management created with their incompetence.
My understanding is that number is just M7 payments, that does not include the staffing problems m7 creates or the fact they are having to send trips at double pay (actually triple pay but don’t want to double count costs) that might have gone out for single pay.
and I agree, if they come with a low ball offer, it will get voted down. I do trust the MEC to know their audience. We will see what happens in the coming weeks whether we are in for the long haul or not.
