No one can say they “gave up” $$$$. They voluntarily agreed to work there for that wage every week when they clocked in, and again when they cashed their paycheck. Also, no one can actually be sure the company would have survived to pay any wage had the concessions not happened.

In my case, I left in early 2009. No concessions from me.

I voted NO every time.. I did not vote for any concessions.. As far as staying?? How many do you think would have gotten jobs in the LTL market?? Then if you have to start all over you start at the bottom of the wage progression.. I stayed because of my age.. I remember the BA coming in and told us that we were Teamsters and we would know how to make the extra few hours of overtime to make up for the givebacks.. IMO this was a plan to break the NMFA and they surely succeeded..
