Wouldn’t it be considerate to find out asap if there was a severance package? Here it is mid February and a company with Ivy League lawyers still hasn’t given us any information. I mean, within five and a half months we’re all going to have make dramatic life changes. We’re not sitting on millions of dollars in our bank accounts to buffer our transition. We have no time to loose in making decisions. So, with all do respect, pretty please with sugar on it, announce what the package is. We’re all big boys and girls. If it’s great, thanks for your generosity. If it’s a dud, no biggie, thanks for the great pay and benefits over the years, now everyone can plan if they have to move right away, sell their homes, start packing, and so forth.

I think the severance package is going to be a "see you later alligator, after while crocodile, don't let the door hit you in the a– on the way out” deal.
The union probably already knows, but they're not going to say anything because everyone would freak out. They'll stick to the "we're negotiating" storyline until close to the the very end and then tell everyone.
It's gonna be like when most union employees are let go, straight to unemployment.
I'm not sure they can legally do that since they have already gave everyone a date of closure. That would be pretty sh–ty if everyone was making plans for jobs or schooling and then get told you are needed for more time.
Just wait until July 30th when they decide they need everyone around for 6 more months and ruin everyone's plans
