You are right they could still furlough non cons but the lead time required with WARN notices would suggest they have no plans to do so in the immediate future.
That very well may be, I don't remember the exact verbiage of the agreement. I do remember the intention, however, and the optics of what the company did certainly did not win over many supporters from the pilot group.
