A quick definition of employee givebacks:

Employee givebacks refer to a type of negotiation between employers and employees where the latter agrees to give up some of their previously gained benefits, wages, or working conditions in exchange for job security. This is also known as concession bargaining or union givebacks. The goal is to protect employees from layoffs or other job-related uncertainties. It is a part of collective bargaining, which is a process where employers and employees negotiate terms and conditions of employment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Employee givebacks, also known as concession bargaining, is a type of negotiation between employers and employees where the employees agree to give back previously gained improvements in wages, benefits, or working conditions in exchange for job security, such as protection against layoffs.

For example, a union may agree to a wage freeze or reduction in order to prevent layoffs or keep a company from moving jobs overseas. Another example could be employees agreeing to pay a larger portion of their healthcare costs in exchange for job security.

These examples illustrate how employee givebacks work in practice. Employers may ask for concessions during tough economic times or when facing financial difficulties, and employees may agree to give up some of their benefits or pay in order to keep their jobs.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think
[] baddestbunny

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
