Glad to hear this news! I hope that it is a successful venture for both employees and the company!
As another union member in a different industry, please don't follow the same union standards of union seniority controlling its members. There are bad employees everywhere and they should be able to be removed easily, but often times in unions it is very hard to remove them.
Unions have great benefits, but also stupid customs that should be changed.
Good luck on your adventure!
