In several countries that I'm aware of, collective consultation is a requirement above a certain number of redundancies even if there is no trade union agreement in that workplace.
Collective bargaining could achieve far more than 2-3 months of pay. I've personally seen cases of over double that much pay, reduced numbers of redundancies, sacking a few directors instead of a few workers and in one case even preventing the redundancies entirely by forcing management to reduce other costs.
Of course, you are likely to fare much better if the workplace is already unionised, so join/build a union now!

There are a number of loopholes however and the company doesn't need to give any specific employee 2 months advance notice, so the good employees start their job hunt while everyone else hopes to survive the culling.
