It is very ironic that we already have one of the best furlough protection programs in the industry. Then management was kind enough to make it even stronger when they jackassed up the lists at ABX and ATI because they thought they were going to get to bring in a bunch of new hires this year at ABX (that plan backfired, of course).

We have already seen how effective our furlough protection is.

So, why are we trying to gut the furlough protection we already have while pretending we are trying to “save jobs?” Maybe the question should be “who's job are we REALLY trying to save?”
