When they lay people off, they often keep things quiet because it will "effect morale". But the firing itself is what effects morale. Being secretive about it undermines respect and harms morale more.

A friend last night told me her company used to email the staff about every layoff they had ahead of time so that they remained transparent with their team. After a large wave of restructuring this was done away with.

With this kind of practice in a union contract, you could have the opportunity for democratic negotiation of layoff packages. Another friend shared a story about layoffs at his work, a Vox Media outlet. A number of staff were recently let go and the union got them one month's notice and THREE MONTHS severance.
