I think it is time for unemployment insurance to go through some overhauling also. I know many (meaning more than just a few) people who go to Alaska and work for 8-9 months making over 100k every year, then come back to the mainland and just coast for 3-4 months getting full unemployment benefits. Also included are some union friends in the IBEW who have top seniority and will do the same thing, and since they are top seniority and friendly with dispatch can get the same benefits because they just ask the dispatcher to not call them until they are ready to go back to work. BTW, the Alaska guys are non-union, so don't go mistaking this as an anti-union rant. I just think unemployment insurance needs some some more oversight.
