    Yep. Or, in construction, if they need to cut back on maypower,   
    the company may have regular crews, who stay, while extras go,   
    even though all belong to the same union. Often seniority   
    doesn't control that.   
      
    NB> The union protects you when a company does you wrong, not

    True. And at that, the company is likely to get away with a lot   
    anyway.
