I'm assuming you are at ATI. Just a couple of points: the furloughee issue of which you speak was established in the CBA. For good or bad it was what it was. If you are former ABX then either you voted for the CBA or against it. It passed.
Now for the fun one: ATI's Mec delayed negotiations with the company in order to secure raises for anyone over 12 years of seniority ---thus creating a B-scale without having to negotiate for it! You were talking about greed I believe!
