for some of us it is concessionary. I'm a 8-9 year CA. I will be making LESS at the new payrate than I would have had my COLA 50 cent or whatever raise for the past 5 years continued to be paid per the old contract. A 2-3 dollar pay raise over 1999 rates does not sit well with me (does not keep up with inflation/cost of living so therefore concessionary)...had the TA been passed 3-4 years ago that might be a different story.
I am losing VAC days
I have NO GAIN to my 401k.
so depending on where you are seniority wise, yes it is concessionary. especially for the middle group...below the top 15% to about the top of the bottom 30%
