I am one of the laid off workers back in June 2015. I was at 79 when mudge showed up and he said it was his decision to lay us off and they have no plans on bringing us back . i don't understand that you lay me off , the company pays what ever to unemployment , you are working the guys their 80 hours and you are secretly training and paying replacements if their is a strike ... Now the contracts up and you issue a surplus on other job titles . This company has a plan in place and i believe they want the strike .

They played chicken and union lost the game. Now time to let management folks go. OP don't complain about quiet training. This has always been the case to train management and have them work during the strike. A week of training doesn't add up to permanent replacement.
