Unless your union contract SPECIFICALLY says so, no, your employer is not required to hold your job until you finish school. Or at all.

I'm saying this in a friendly manner. If you're unable to finish this semester, at least go part-time while you're working even if it's taking just one class. You need to be in school. I applaud you wanting to improve your education.

For unemployment purposes, your benefits will probably end if you are called back to work by your employer, you refuse recall, and you are not in a state sponsored approved training school situation.

I would try hard to get my classes fixed so I could work and go to school at the same time.
