Technically OP is off topic, if one happens to be a pedantic asshole. Which I am.

It felt very good to upvote this one comment, for some strange reason. :p

The guild is seeking contracts that include staffer protections in the event of the sale of the company, improved severance offerings, and basic protections from AI.

In other words they’ve noticed that a bunch of greedy venture capitalists bought them and aren’t gonna let 'em just liquidate/automate their jobs for a quick buck.

They’re also probably feeling a bit paranoid after watching Hard-Drive have the same thing happen.

Is this the onion? Or not the onion? Or not not the onion?

On r/nottheonion this would be removed as “not oniony”.
