It seems that very few are getting fired as the company is now offering them a chance to resign. There are benefits to resigning and some of the most egregious ones have taken it. It is win win for both sides.
One thing about probation is you are still part of and represented by the union. The only thing about probation is you are not eligible for the grievance process. So if let go, you are on your own. In the past the company would terminate you if they felt you were a bad fit. Now they offer a severance. If you think you are being wronged, don't take it and fight it. The good thing about this hiring market is that you can take the severance and find another job. Win win for everyone.
