> Why not join together and bargain as a team?

"Bargain as a team" is called "collective bargaining" is called a "union". Just avoid the indirection and call the thing by its name.

I believe the commentator that you're replying to was referring to the fact that they just brought in a union with 700,000 other employees[0]. That significantly alters their team.

[0] Communications Workers of America (CWA) is the largest communications and media labor union in the United States, representing about 700,000 members in both the private and public sectors (also in Canada and Puerto Rico).

Why not doesn't answer why. Do they need to join together because things are bad? Sub-optimal? Good?

If you don't have C-level salary and ownership, things can always be better.

It is a 20 year old company, but according to what I can find it's still between 11 and 50 employees.
