Been there;
I have no idea what you specifically said to start this thread, but IMHO THIS is what might be considered as far as concessions go
Virtually anything could be considered
(Benifits, vacations,work rules, even step raises, already negotiated, but not actually paid out yet)
-B U T-
ABSOLUTELY NEVER give back ONE RED CENT, of the base, hourly wage, that is in effect at the time of the requested concessions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That may sound fatalistic, but once you give back ONCE, it never stops.
(Hypothetical) Virginity, can only be lost ONCE
If it comes down to it(and I sincerely hope it does'nt), then it's Full pay, to the last day !!!!!!!!!!!!
