Like I said, I'm trying to keep an open mind here.
By responding in that dismissive tone you're being every bit as evasive as some people are accusing the management/union of being.
I'm not telling you anything, I'm asking a question which you seem to be deflecting with a sharp comment. You don't need to do that, I'd just genuinely like to know if someone can explain what seems to me to be an obvious and very simple mathematical issue.
Can you answer the question?
