Neon suggests that industry giants, like Disney and Warner Bros., could use the unionization push as a way to justify reducing or halting comic production, especially if costs increase due to union demands. He hypothesizes that smaller publishers or independent creators might benefit initially but warns that large corporations could bypass union rules altogether by outsourcing to international creators, such as those in the Philippines or other regions, to avoid union costs.
He also emphasizes that most of the work—writing, art, coloring—is done by freelancers, meaning unionization may have limited impact on their day-to-day struggles unless they organize themselves rather than through employed staffers.
