Weather unions would be anti stock option or not is debatable, certainly not a fact, and the tweet is absolutely clear cut a threat that workers would lose them if they unionized independent of what the union would do.


Can you cite any instance where a union representing blue collar workers has negotiated stock options or similar stock based compensation as part of their member's pay package?


Maybe someone else finds something more recent, but it looks like 20 years ago, unions got options at about half the rate of non union (table 1).

That doesn't really say much, since non-union labor is usually better compensated, in general.
