Then I would also say that OE is a giveback.
Sick is a giveback in verification, but since the benefit hasn't changed in sick leave time, tougher to assess the impact monetarily. But definitely a concession.
Again. My take. Not alpas
OK,
So we got the JV, OE, and sick leave - just your personal take. Thanks. By the way I agree with your list, although it is incomplete.
Any chance you can run it up the chain of command and see what DALPAs official position on concessions is?
The reason I ask is that for the last six months I have been hearing from my union, DALPA, that all negotiations require both sides to give and take.
Yet strangely enough all of their official correspondence omits any reference to any concessions so I am curious if their actual position is that there are no concessions.
Thanks again for volunteering.
