Local 100 lost nearly a quarter of a million dollars in two years as a result of a reduction in membership dues. Faced with a limited pool of potential employees he was able to layoff, [the local president] terminated staff in order of seniority, beginning with a clerical employee. Other employee layoffs followed, including Schweitzer, and continued until Local 100 reestablished the chapter’s financial security. All of this evidence, even viewed in a light most favorable to Schweitzer, leads this court to conclude that the union’s ability to discharge the cost of Schweitzer’s benefits was merely incidental to a much larger effort to cut costs out of economic necessity. Schweitzer fails to produce any additional evidence that could reasonably rebut this conclusion.
