My understanding is the experienced tellers get about $24/hr. Also, their shifts are 5.5 hours and they can get up to 7 shifts per week. It's in the contract.
You're not close. No matter.
What do you think about Gural backing off his "walk away" date of April 15th?

Look back to the "Jersey legislature OK's $30 mil for MTH & MED" thread (I do not know how to post a link to it).
Even assuming it was $24 per/hr, which from my understanding from the article located on that thread was the proposal after a 20% reduction which simple mathematics gives you almost $29/hr they were making, we are still talking about a 24 hour work week for a $30K salary and that would be without any overtime.
It is a simple process of economics. The union wants as much as they can regardless of the reality, they could care less if the people paying them cannot afford it. If they want to keep their jobs, they need to make concessions. Hell, I am paying an experienced and very qualified attorney to work for me part time for $18/hr. and these tellers who punch tickets are balking at $24/hr? Even $19-$20/hr. is something to balk at? Please.
As far as Gural backing off his walk away date, the tellers are lucky that he is willing to even continue to negotiate with them after insulting him by refusing to even vote on his proposal.
