One of my coworkers asked about the bonus today (halfway through the gig) , and the owner said it actually wasn't happening. He never updated any of us about this, and only told my coworker today.

The loss of this bonus would cost me around $100. The managers are amazing and are fighting for us, but a couple of my coworkers want to strike. Any advice for us?
