We have a Union to collectively bargain for us and to protect our seniority. If it plays out that our contract gets thrown out and our seniority ignored then why do we belong to a Union? I don't see an out of seniority furlough, that is a lot for the company to gamble on without knowing for sure. That is the pickle they are in, going bankrupt and not getting what they want might be like shooting yourself in the foot. If they have to retrain everyone again this place is as good as done.
