Comment: The use of scare quotes around "unionized" is technically against the MOS, but I say IAR; it's a short hook, it gives off an accurate impression, and it adds punch. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 05:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shushugah The hook is interesting, but longer than 100 characters. I suggest shortening it if possible. Haiiya (talk) (contribs) 20:15, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
