The last offer from MILB was for a $2 per day raise in the per diem. This was voted down. The AMLU propsed a $3 per day raise in the per diem and it was accepted. The $100 raise has been there from the beginning. So to answer your question, yes they missed 2 months salary to get an extra $30 per month meal money.
