The workers realized it might be unrealistic to expect a retirement payment of two "base units" per year worked (one base unit equals the average monthly salary during the six months before retirement) --if only they could collect redundancy pay of one base unit per year worked, they would be satisfied.
員工也知道一年兩個基數（一個基數等於退休前六個月的平均月薪）的退休金不必奢求，只要能領到一年一個基數的資遣費就阿彌陀佛了。
