    Default Give up

    Please look at the sentence taken from a newspaper - Not everyone buys the notion of a brighter future for manufacturing, measured by job growth. American companies aren’t about give up their hard-won battles to produce more with fewer workers.

    Please explain to me why "to" is omitted before "give". Thanks
