I’m not a union guy, but I thought that when one was laid-off it was not liked being fired because when things picked up the laid-offs were called back. I don’t think those employees who were laid-off complained when they were called back. If you seek employment you have to realize that there could come a time when your employer could, for reasons known only to him, tell you that the market just will not allow him to carry you for the time being, but if things turn around, he will repay your loyalty to him by giving you your old job back with no questions asked. I think that’s the fair thing to do
There is no loyalty toward workers from corporations, and hasn't been for years and years. Yet for some reason the corporations expect loyalty to the corporation from the workers. Management is truly clueless.
