If that's what the company had asked us to do...for the future of the company...then yes....but I've been here 20 years and this company has never asked me to do such. Even during the most recent depression, it was management that took the concessions, NOT the employees. We did go one year with no raise but we've never lost anything....and I'd also say we have a wage and benefits pkg that few companies can rival....just as most in our industry does.
It seems like you did.
We as drivers did take a cut (concession). Remember the quarterly bonus? While we were never "asked" to take that concession, we clearly lost it. Worst part? We have still not gotten it back... Did we agree to those terms, giving up what was used to offset lower raises in the year it was created?
