I’m sorry if I’m slow, but I’m not understanding these letters.

Some people are saying that they are receiving a positive furlough letter IN ADDITION to the WARN general letter which is going out to everyone? I’m so confused ... in the past, the furlough announcement came first, and then through a bid (The PWOPs). The number was known by management and the union and was communicated. But in this case, there has been no bid, no PWOPs, no announcement, and no union communication, but yet the company is already actively furloughing a “surprise” number of people, which we can only surmise by going online and trying to figure out who got a letter?

This doesn’t sound right. Help me understand.
