Umm... the union is doing nothing about it . As for the appendix M. I’m on it and it’s awesome... keep my call back rights, I’m getting a nice chunk every month and I’m working another job.
How deep is the layoffs? Car repairman with seniority of 15-20 years in the furlough? What are the unions doing about it?

I agree, who tf would go back. I threw away 20 yrs with them, ain’t worth it. Retirement is nice, sure, but when your covered in dirt at the age of 65, no thanks.

Who in their right mind would want to go back to work for Norfolk Southern and they're absolutely useless management.
Furloughed employees, once notified to return to work, only have a limited time. If they fail to return within the time period, their names are stricken from the seniority roster. Been like that 100 years. The letter you speak of might be the letter stated they've been terminated because they failed to return once recalled.
