I doubt it. It's only 57 employees. Not earth shattering at all.

the tech community has been fighting tooth and nail to prevent unions from entering their little walled garden. microsoft won't welcome one in.

Earlier this year Microsoft actually said they wouldnt union-bust. I’m not usually the one to take a corporation’s PR speak at face value but employers really dont come out and say they won’t fight you on it, except here lol.

microsoft says one thing publicly and privately does another. the tech community has spent billions fighting off unions for the shitty work conditions they subject their employees to. microsoft will not invite one in to screw them.
