Add Comment Question: if my job description changes drastically, am I eligible for severance even if I am a unionized employee? I am 60 years old and being asked to climb ladder on outside job after 38 years of service working indoors Answer: Unfortunately as a unionized employee your terms of employment would be governed by your collective agreement. You should speak with your union representative discuss the difficulties you are having.
