- ry454 6y agoHow much was that severance exactly?
- fatnoah 6y agoIIRC, four months pay and health insurance for those making > $110k and six months for everyone else...or something like that. That does seem pretty generous, especially for a company that small.
- oh_sigh 6y agoThe article doesn't actually say that the union is responsible for employees getting severance packages. The closest thing to a direct effect of the union is that some union members were offered a buy-out package to quit.
