Greg,
Sounds like a big %! Do you have an accountant CPA Attorney who can help? or refer you to a specialist CPA familar with severence state requirements?
If it were me, I would at least complain and challenge. I am very sceptical when it comes to employers, unions, insurance, anybody telling me what to do. They have to prove what they have done is right. Especially if it means I get less money.
