Of course they do. A lot of them are members of the IAM-AW, layoffs are by seniority. BTW, where is the union in all of this? (I know of where I speak - I retired from Lockheed Martin after 21 years of service.)
I was an IAM member and Union Steward for awhile. I used to go to the Union Meetings and grouse at them for not supporting Republicans. Man those were tough meetings. Here I was with the Socialist and I was a conservative!
