I just talked to an FX sales boss and he agreed that bitcoin could be a good job hedge for such workers beside a fiat hedge as well....
Any other workers / business owners think of such a job hedge?

Dude I don't understand what you mean by job hedge or fiat hedge. Hedge means an investment that is intended to balance out the losses incurred in other bad investment by a company. Why would WU PayPal or FX traders hedge in Bitcoins if their stocks aren't falling down? Can you elaborate more on that hedge you are talking about.
In terms of a insurance for e.g. getting less paid from WU,... or in worst case lose your job. Bitcoin is getting up in price (by taking over that business) so it will compensate some of that.
Hedge for fiat I hope I do not need to explain more in this forum or do you need this again?

Nothing stops the workers from buying bitcoin as long as they don't buy it in their offices which maybe have cameras, so Bitcoin is a better alternative to Banks and Western Union, as everything can be controlled from your house PC desktop or hardware wallet for more safety. You are your own bank with bitcoins, so yeah nothing stops these workers to buy bitcoin in the end if they wish to do so.
They cannot tell their employees what to buy or not in their personal life.While an employer can set rules and guidelines for working hours,they can't dictate their whole life

If they found bitcoin as more beneficial for them, then they will try their best to design a way through which they start to adopt bitcoin for their business.

As a worker they should be upgrading their skills for something else before the bubble breaks but I do not see this happening any time soon. Bitcoin does not cash cheques and it does not show up as cash at a location. Meaning you need more bitcoin atms for money transfers to work on the same level as western union.
