It's guys like you & the union guys & the full time guys I was mostly referring to about 'total compensation', ie retirement & healthcare. From an accounting point of view, you probably 'make' 20% more then that. And that is good for you. An a lot of unions have fringe benefits via Credit Unions, Pension Plans, etc., like reduced loan costs - that is a nice perk too. In the big pic, that matters. Your pay is often more then the paycheck reflects.
