A concession implies giving something up without gaining anything else. Assuming you’re talking about swap/drop etc, they didn’t ask for a concession. They asked to bring us in line with the rest of the industry. Which is also what we are asking for in regards to pay and benefits. We can either accept industry standard pay and industry standard scheduling flexibility (or lack thereof) or accept less somewhere else to keep our flexibility. I’m not being a company sympathizer or Debbie-Downer but this is how a mediator is going to look at it.
