In any event a Union can’t prevent an employer from issuing layoffs due to downsizing, even when it’s pretty obvious that the employer shouldn’t be downsizing. They would just have to ensure seniority or whatever other terms are included in the contract relating to layoffs/recalls are followed instead of having the employer arbitrarily laying off employees.
If layoffs are occurring then having the offer of another job might be enticing to some employees but I don’t think that there’s anything that could force them to take a new position with the government.

Which is probably part of the plan. There is now a bigger pool of staff for private companies to hire for cheaper.
