what are three ways which a trade union can help workers who were laid off
Government workers are paid a salary. People who have been working and are laid off through no fault of their own may be eligible for employment compensation for a limited time.
If the employer needs to layoff workers, and follows its layoff procedure, and you are the next lowest in seniority, you are laid off. WC law prohibits dismissing you BECAUSE OF the claim, and does not prohibit separation for any other reason.
