We already subsidize companies, but that doesn’t always end up in the hand of the employees.
Look, we have to accept that not every company can be profit driven and sustain itself. That can be an issue with wage costs or with other costs. Things like theatres often get money from the government to fill the gap. Companies with old historic buildings often get money from the government to keep those buildings in check. Startups also get helped by the NL government in the form of tax cuts etc.
UBI would also help with edge cases. Or people who cannot work etc. Yes there are also issues with this.

Some companies, sometimes. Sure.
Then they should be allowed to fail. If it’s an essential service it should be a government department not a company.
UBI is a good idea, but that’s entirely different.
