    If you are with the GMP union and pay the past union dues then you should still retain your seniority. I was on lay off for almost a year and I receiver my seniority with them. I was with Owens Brockway a glass plant.Glass Mold Pottery

    typically unions have that rule, a non union employer is under no obligation to give you back seniority, unless it is their policy to do so

  • James Jones:

    entirely up to the employer
