Average is thrown off by the outliers. What you want is the median. However, they're also counting all benefits (and probably significantly over counting). From TFA: > The tentative deal would raise part-time workers' wages to at least $21 an hour. Their pay was a sticking point during negotiations. Full-time workers will average $49 an hour, and the agreement would end mandatory overtime on drivers' days off, according to a summary posted by the Teamsters Union. So, they're claiming benefits are worth $70K per year per person. I highly doubt that there would have been a strike threat if that were the case.
