Lol therapy for the driver? They're going to escape fault/blame as a company by some ratfuck tactic like drug testing or another method to escape fault. They're going to do that not only to avoid taking care of their own employees, but also so they're not financially liable.
Whatever company you work for ,(directed at everyone, not just you) they will leave you in dust when a certain dollar amount is met they would have to pay.
Unionization is likely the most important thing we can do to improve nearly every aspect of our society. With unionization we could be paid what we're worth, and have the benefits we need to tackle mental health issues, both would directly impact the probability of us becoming homeless and met with this same fate.
You have infinitely more in common with this poor soul that was murdered by a company/city, than you do with the people stealing your wages and your happiness. Never ever think otherwise.
