Maybe, that's not entirely clear to me. If that's the case then unions work differently than were I live. Here they negotiate what is a valid reason (in general, not on case-by-case situations) for termination, but not how they select the employees to terminate.
In America they often push for seniority based pay and layoffs. This is to fight favoritism and ensure that layoffs don't just mean that the highest paid workers lose their jobs. Laid off union employees often have the right to be recalled in order of seniority when a company returns to hiring people
