I previously posted "Myth Buster" which basically states the same thing on another thread started by Your Boss, "AMLU rejects proposal." I was working with the bottom figures to try to establish where the 12% offer, which I stated never existed, came from.
--------------------------------
"Did AMLU turn down 12% RAISE? Article stated, "Minor League umpires reject 12 percent raise." It must be true.
http://oursportscentral.com/services...es/?id=3303808
Per diem OFFER increased from $25 to $27, less than 10%.
Salary OFFER increased from $10,000 to $10,500, exactly 5%.
Last I checked $3.57/$60 falls just short of 6%.
I suppose the AMLU looks pretty dumb turning their noses at a 12% RAISE that never existed. ONE SCAB I read about got a 50% RAISE. Perhaps PBUC would consider that 12% raise across the BOARD."
----------------------
One WWTB even challenged me by stating, "You say it never existed, while some pretty involved sources say otherwise. Were you at the table, like Yund and Mobley?" Hmmm, I think NOT. I have since read several other sources quoting this 12% pay raise offer. I can only ascertain that it may have existed and that nobody is talking about it.
