If you are furloughed, then you are protected by the CBA to have recall rights. Therefore, you must honor you training contract until a mutual agreement can be reached between you and the company to void repayment of the training contract. If you refuse to return to work when recalled, than they can terminate your furlough status and force you to repay the prorated amount left in your training contract. The only way to not pay this training contract while on furlough is to let time run its course. After 2-years of employment, furloughed or not, you are not obligated to pay the training cost.
