Actually it is Steve. Unless you don't put any of your money where it can earn interest.
Concession = concede. I don't see it as a concession as we still have a raise. A portion of it? ok.

Concession = concede. We didn't concede our raises, period.

John McDevitt (the management committee member responsible for contract negotiations) said just the opposite.
When asked if we were going to ask the Teamsters for concessions, he said no. He said that asking for concessions would require renegotiating the contract and we did not want to do that.
He said that for a company to ask for concessions it has to be in dire straits and there are significant consequences for doing so.
P-Man
Let's see.......
They've cut drivers, clerks, PT supes, mechanics, BD and pilots are asked for concessions.
My question is:
When is IE gonna cut themselves?....or is sitting at that desk plugging numbers in a calculator so labor intensive that IE can't afford to lose people?
I don’t know if we will make concessions down the road or not. However, whenever the subject comes up we talk about the UAW. After their "devastating" concessions their starting wage is almost 50% more than what the UPS starting wage is.

we are "conceeding" receiving our full raise on-time, and "conceeded" to split it over the year.I don't see how you can be conceeding anything when you're increasing the pay rate.
Y'all don't even have a contract do ya?
Was the extension of time before a new part-time employee receives health benefits not a concession? How about the extension of progression for new full time employees, concession or no? The change in the 8-hr day language, surely that was no concession was it?
The last contract was full of concessions.
Thanks for that info, I didn't know that.Mechanic and pilot contracts do not expire, They become amendable.
Oh geeeezzz ..picky picky picky...lolCould be off-base ... wouldn't be the first time but...
I thought concessions referred to"givebacks" during the period in which a contract is in effect such as with the UAW and GM.
When a new contract is negotiated, as the previous contract expires, the negotiated terms and conditions are not normally referred to as concessions. As terms and conditions change from one contract to the next, it is the normal exchange of items of value by the participating parties.
But with that all said, I think we all know that something of value was lost by each party while something of value was gained by each party regardless of the timing.
PS - Got the boat out this season yet?
Oh geeeezzz ..picky picky picky...lol
