This sounds like fear mongering. How often do union votes result in closures?
"On November 2, 2017, Ricketts posted to both DNAinfo and the '-ist' network sites that both websites would immediately cease operations, a week after Gothamist writers voted to unionize with the Writers Guild of America, East. All content from all DNAinfo sites and all subsidiary sites were taken down. The next day, archives of the sites were returned to functionality. Ricketts's shutdown was criticized as being a mere act of retaliation after the two companies' workers had joined a union."
Would you gamble your family eating on this ?
I still remember being a low wage worker, fear is apart of the job ! Most people can't even go a few weeks without a check, it's not like us where we can quit and take a few months to find a job which ideologically aligns with our views.
Your sitting from an upper middle class position. Working class people don't want to risk missing a check.
