Of course the Council 5 rep is pushing historical revisionism and what the term "concession" means.
The truth is this TA gave up nothing, NADA, not one concession!!!!
Except:
The chance of negotiation improvements over the life of the TA.
So in the minds of many the inability to negotiate something is a "concession."
Folks let's get real and quit being so hyperbolic and diversionary. Vote yes or no, it's that simple.
If the company said we want to extend this contract for two years for nothing in return everyone would vote no. Why? Because an extension by itself is a concession. The debate is centered on whether or not the compensation offered by the company reverses the concession. It's as simple as that.
