I'm betting some people wish they had a union now.

  Unions don't prevent layoffs though

    It really depends on the specific union and what they push for in negotiations. Some unions will prioritize layoff preventing policies that make layoffs a less desirable option for a business. At the very least, a union will probably get you a better severance package than you would get out of a company with no union. And if severance is more expensive, it shifts the economic incentives and might make a company more hesitant to lay people off.

  > I'm betting some people wish they had a union now. 100% this. Unions help employees to negotiate better even in a layoff situation. Engineers and other software related jobs, are just that jobs. Unions are specially designed to help employees better deals whatever the industry.

  Union isn't going to save them when the companies goes bankrupt and everyone losses their jobs. It was a very stupid for Unity to hire as much as they did over the last two years without having a clear path to becoming profitable.
