My Take - Somehow these leftist loons think having a union would have prevented these layoffs....wrong!  Back in the 70's a steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio shut down and laid everyone off.  The union sued.  And what did they base their suit on?  They had a contract so the company was obligated to stay open, in spite of the fact they were losing money.   The courts made it clear no company can be forced to keep losing money for the sake of union members.
