Unionization doesn’t prevent layoffs. It’s clear you have never been in a union.

It doesn’t always, but it can. I have been in a union. But thanks for assuming you know anything about me douchebag.

Their name is Teddie K. They're a fascist who at best might have an eco in front.

Fixed that for you.

I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that unionization NEVER prevents or at least helps to prevent spurious mass layoffs, since that would make you a total imbecile about how labor relations in general and collective bargaining in particular works or at best an otherwise rational victim of gaslighting disinformation campaigns carried out on behalf of the people doing the layoffs.

It does not but the game industry has a lot of parallel to the movie industry l where some parts are very unionized.

Unions are important for gig/contract work or else workers get abused and its a race to the bottom.
