In the long term, this might be very good for the anime industry if the unionization expands. However, in the short term, it can get pretty ugly for the unionists since the industry does have other sources of talent. Moving production to other countries is a distinct possibility. And it has shown a willingness to people who try to buck the trend (for some reason, Tange Sakura comes to mind here). Still, this is probably a step in the right direction since unfair/untenable working conditions are precisely what unions were designed to combat.
