$100,800.00 will be paid to the local union for lost union dues.
$12,799,200.00 will be divided among all mailhandlers who were on the rolls in the Phoenix installation during the period of July 1, 1997 to May 31, 2003 on a pro-rated basis. A mail handler would have had to have passed their 90 day probation period in order to be eligible for payment.
$900,000.00 will be divided equally among all current mail handlers in the Phoenix installation and Eat Valley DDC as of the date of this settlement. This amount is a global settlement that deals with all casual grievances that were pending the outcome of the Tamoush Award.
