Redundancy is on the horizon and looming fast

Hi
Well looks like the day has finally arrived and redundancy is on the horizon.

The Senior Management have decided that it needs to cut 50% of the workforce in the area I am working.
I am a manager in this area and if I do the numbers correctly (last in first out) I will be for the chop.
At the moment the senior management are in discussions with union and the end of the process is nearing.
I am not in the union and I have raised to Senor Management that I would like to discuss my own package, which they do not have a problem with.
If anybody has been in this type of situation I would welcome any sort of advise you might have on this experience , Do’s and Don’ts , how to discuss package (2 weeks stat + 3 weeks for every year with 52 week cap has been offered to union)
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks

AFAIK the employer has to offer every employee the same package - you could check with citizens advice on this - I was made redundant in '07 & either it was through the local management setting the conditions in preparation for their own destiny (Co was an American Multi-N) or else having to comply with the law but we got the same conditions that were in place 2 years previously - 2 Stat + 4 Weeks per Year - Non union .
