AMLU rejects proposal

[SAump]

Did AMLU turn down 12% RAISE? Article stated, "Minor League umpires reject 12 percent raise." It must be true.

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.

The last offer was rejected 2 to 1, I can only suppose the majority of those who voted to go back to work were already working at the AA to AAA level. Any idea why the triple-A guys might be itching to get back to work?
