They call it "voluntary layoff" around here. It 's obviously better for those who can afford to be off (maybe worked a ton of overtime earlier in the year or may not be the primary breadwinner) as long as your workforce is flexible enough to fill in the gaps. I'm sure in some cases they have to be careful who they let do it. You're probably seeing a lot of it now because (if you manufacture for other customers) a lot of companies have holiday/end of year shut-downs about this time and can afford gaps in production.
As for unemployment, isn't that paid into a fund by employers which would explain why employers sometimes fight to deny it? I think unemployment, because it is often times abused, is mistaken for welfare when in reality it is yours to use because essentially you (thru your employer) paid for it. Coupled with the fact that while you are out the company isn't making revenue from you and in fact has to maintain your benefits, I see nothing wrong with it. Now school me if you must :) lol
