I'm even more confused now. The general point of a basic income AFAIK is to permit everyone to live somewhere and eat regardless of their employment status. Boosting unions and forcing companies to scale existing labor rather than invest in new labor, and thus increasing the number of people with no income, sounds like movement in the exact opposite direction.
