This is just typical rhetoric from a union that wants to give the impression that they care or matter. The challenge for them is - they don't matter any more. When a company is in bankruptcy, they have no control. To imply that they'll gain control and credibility by causing disruptions across the company is ludicrous and foolish. It really gives you a good insight into the maturity of the leadership.
This is what unions do when they're in a lose-lose. They'd rather see the company go under than see the union go under, which further solidifies my opinion that unions seve little to no value in today's economic climate. The entire notion is just insane.
There will be plenty of very willing people eager to replace jobs vacated by employees who decide to leave for whatever reason.
