Yes, they're called union members, all of them. Even you.

Furloughs suck no doubt, but should you blame the union? Blame the company? Blame the economy? Who furloughed you, ALPA? How dare the union create a full time job for a furloughed union member right!? Sorry you didn't get that job, but your welcome for the COBRA insurance payment. In a perfect world, what was the answer?
