I can beat that, about 10 years ago, my employer decided to get rid of the caboose at the rear of trains, our own union said it would be wise to take the companies offer, and that anyone employed before a certain date would be a protected employee, we also received a raise.
employess who no longer had a job do to a surpluss of wmployess, were placed on a furlough board, where they would receive a monthly payment of aprox. $2000, but were subject to transfer anywhere in north america.
2 years into this, guys on the furlough board were transfered to various locations, I have guys in toronto, from montreal, halifax, moncton, and BC, they are only temporarily here ( going on 2-3 years now), and the company refuses to relocate these people, and their families.
