The attached spreadsheet can be used to see a rough (low) estimate of what accepting the treasury board’s offer would cost you. Today, and over time.

The green numbers are the cost of each day spent on a picket line.

The numbers are shocking! Can you afford to the cost of accepting the treasury board’s offer?
