Here is a look at how the tentative agreement compares with the union’s pre-strike wages and the prior proposals. We’ve totaled the three-year earnings to show how the wages stack up:
1st year
2nd year
3rd year
Previous DC 33
average wage
$46,000
$46,000
$46,000
$138,000
Parker’s previous
proposal
$47,265
$49,267
$50,715
$147,247
$48,300
$50,715
$53,251
$152,266
DC 33 proposal
$149,039
$47,969
$49,387
$51,683
Tentative agreement
Note: The value of the first year of the tentative agreement includes the $1,500 signing bonus and subtracts about $900 in lost wages from the strike. Figures for the second and third year for Parker’s previous proposal and the tentative agreement include the new fifth step in the union pay scale, which applies to about 60% of members in the second year and 80% in the third year.
