Took me a few rereads, but pretty sure it’s saying that last month the drivers threatened to strike if they didn’t get a pay raise. The threat was successful and the pay raise will go in affect by May 2024.

I have read this 5 times and I’m not 100% sure I’m reading it right

Works 100% of the time 60% of the time.

It works for people that went to a good school.
This is not a grammatically complicated statement, or incorrect.
Y’all are just easily confused.

The original post is just a bad sentence. I’m about 12.4% sure it’s a run on sentence. Good school or not the structure is all wrong. I’m still confused as to if the 12.4% raise was offered before or after the union threatened to strike. The sentence does a terrible job describing the cause and effect of the situation. Wouldn’t it make more sense to bring up the union threat before the raise? And as others have pointed out 12.4% isn’t even correct.

It’s not a run-on sentence.
It’s not even a notably long one.
The claimed details of the raise are not confusing, regardless of their accuracy.
It’s fine to struggle with reading, you don’t need to blame others for your lack of understanding.

Seriously, is AI making memes now? How is this even up voted? It doesn’t make any sense.
