GIVING CONCESSIONS - THE NEW "IT" THING TO DO

Tony Walker

If you read the newspapers or watch the news one topic that's being discussed everyday lately is union givebacks.... teachers, state workers, etc.... concessions, freezes, etc. It's got me shakin' my head!

When did concessions become the "it" thing to do?

This world gets scarier and scarier everyday. Why are concessions being the acceptable road? Why are hard working people expected to give concessions? We all fought hard for what we have. Now we have to fight about what we're giving back???

This line of thinking is what made paying for medical care acceptable. Remember when we didn't have to pay for medical benefits? It wasn't that long ago!!
