Unfortunately I don't think any of the new electric car manufacturers are unionized. So a lot of these people would lose union gigs and end up with less pay/benefits at a non-union shop. Sire they could unionized again but that's it's own battle just to get back to where they started.

New companies don't usually treat their people shitty while starting up. Otherwise they'd never make it in the first place. I think it's later down the road when the greed kicks in and workers start getting screwed. So at least for a few years it should be win/win even without a union.

That's not true. Start ups tend to take advantage of people's hopes and dream of working for a start up. Not sure what the big deal is with start ups. Here's the first article I found from a quick google search https://sifted.eu/articles/mental-health-workplace

A data set of 133 europeans isn't much to base anything on. I do believe there are plenty of startups that are shitty to work for due to the reasons outlined in the article. How many are like that is hard to say.

A data set of 133 is better than your data set of 0.

I'm not the one making blanket statements.
