[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would unions challenge this? Let people take it if they want. People are entitled to make informed decisions including taking risks.[/quote]

Because employees were not being given the information or time needed to make informed decisions.  Case in point— sometime after I logged off last night, they added a “this is subject to appropriations” clause.  Which changes a lot. People should have information up front. It should be truthful (ie, we might not get the money), it should give time to consult with a financial planner and attorney, they shouldn’t keep changing the terms, they shouldn't make promises that, objectively and legally, they might not be able to keep.

Follow the process, give people good info, only offer what you know you can legally provide, stop the high pressure sales techniques and very short deadlines and then sure— FORK AWAY.  As it stands, people counting on VERA in late summer might have their resignations effective 3/14 because no funds were appropriated. And lose VERA, which they would have gotten without FORK. That is one of 1000 risks that should have been disclosed. [/quote]
