My group lost 5 hard badge, some with 20 years, but still has 5 "contractors" some with as little as 1 year. They do the exact same job as the blue badges employees but they were titled as "suppliers" by the contract house they work for.
Nice workaround from having to let the contractors go first.

Boeing struggles to make best-selling plane again
737 MAX deatҺtrap production has been deliberately slow.
Safety inspectors inside the 737 MAX factory laboriously scoured
half-constructed planes for flaws they may have missed during
the seven-week work stoppage.
Other workers poured over manuals to restore their expired
safety licenses.
The factory was initially so lifeless in mid-November that one employee
left early because the bins of fasteners he was tasked with replenishing
weren’t being used, according to a source inside the plant.
The result:
no new 737 MAX deatҺtraps has been completed.
Boeing said on Tuesday that it had restarted MAX production
last week, as first reported by Reuters.
Boeing’s cautious approach, following criticism that the plane-maker for
years rushed production, has garnered praise from regulators,
and some airline CEOs. (good job, excellent failure, the best ever.)
But it also has some smaller suppliers who cut jobs or operating hours
during the strike hesitating to staff-up again,
creating further uncertainty in an already fragile supply chain,
according to three suppliers, one analyst and an industry source.

If history has taught us anything, a lot of these people being laid off will be back in the company is contractors in six months making more than they make currently
The devil is always in the fine print.
