What math are you using?

They said $10 per month. You use pay period. Then you switch to weekly pay.

This highlights another reason for unionization, using people who understand accounting to determine what is a good deal for the workers.

I'm using "I've been up for 20 hours because I'm packing my house up to move somewhere affordable" math. I meant 79.66 hours of your own money. I read their post wrong and thought it must be 10 a paycheck because it seems so small. When I was a Teamster many years ago it was nearly 800 a year so thirty dollars a paycheck.
