My interpretation of the articles going around is that this is affecting “management” employees meaning HQ. Retail is its own thing and they are not categorized the same in the financials.
Retail moving to indirect and/or closing down will be its own thing.
Any non union employee of the company is classified as a management employee
In this context it’s non union are management.
I think by management they mean not craft,
Craft is union, management is non union.
Management is not to be confused with a person's title or geographic location.
This was well explained is previous posts. Please read.
