Salaried employees say temp layoffs are only until they can get union approval for full layoffs, which takes 90 days... thus the 90 day lack of work.

Well many here don’t give a rats a$$ anymore about this JOB. The way they treated battery plant guys, now in 273 and kept us employed this far. I hope they offer a buyout to any members that want to leave $60k I would leave walk away with $30k or so. I am sure many would leave that way GE won’t have to pay a dime to their former employees
