Retro pay isn’t a given, it has to be negotiated. Like I said, they’re likely going to get it but it’s not a guarantee.

For the 11%, it's based on the offered raises over that period. Just to use a trivial example, if the employer offered a 10%, 0%, 0%, 0% increase over 4 years and that was accepted 3 years into the contract period, workers would get retroactive pay equivalent to 30% of their salary (10% extra x 3 years of work). So using the same math with the government's offer, it's roughly equivalent to 11%.
But obviously that makes several assumptions; for instance I don't know when their contract starts/ends within the year, so if it's mid-year then the retroactive payment would be lower because they've worked less time without a contract.

Thanks for clarifying, I had previously thought you trying to include post ratification increases into the retro pay as well.
