My guess is that the early buy outs and other gimmicks apply only to white collar / non union employees - those which involve a contract between employer and employee.

Sounds like this sale involves the union slugs' account - based on a contract between the employer and the union.

In the first instance the employer wins (happened to me) but, in the second instance, replacing "employer" with "investor" might be interesting.
