Come on. Working on a big-budget studio flop will have absolutely no impact on the below-the-line workers. It MIGHT affect the leading stars, director, producers, and writers (in descending order of likelihood). All of them have some degree of actual blame, however, and frankly, in Hollywood those individuals tend to fail upwards.
The blue collar workers are presumably the people who did things like craft the sets and such. I’ve heard no major complaints about that. I don’t think they will have a problem getting hired for future films.
How will Snow White bombing affect the blue collar workers who have all likely moved on to their next project already? These workers are constantly moving from one project to another, they aren't like actors where their career may or may not be affected by their last project bombing. These are workers that studios use for ALL projects from small to huge budget projects. They will be fine no matter what happens with Snow White.
Wait, which ones are those? Ooooh, the ones after the election?! Sorry. I think gotcha now.
Those are the ones I thought we were talking about.

You really don't understand how Hollywood financing works, and it shows.
You’re really, really reaching.
So Disney just stops all production on all movies and tv shows they are doing when they adjust schedules? No of course they don't. And so when a production gets delayed those crews tied to it move onto the next project that is currently under production. New production spins up and old productions shutdown constantly. This is Hollywood, the town that never sleeps, where a movie or tv show is being shot all the time.

I’m sorry but this ignores reality, all the studios are in the same position, Disney cutting a movie from their schedule does not mean Universal adds one, Universal is unfortunately in the same position as Disney.
The California economy in general is one of the weakest ones in the nation, and the Los Angeles economy specifically is one of the weakest in an already weak California. The loss of Hollywood production and business is really hurting things in and around LA.

Los Angeles' entertainment industry suffers continued losses over past three years, report says
The film and television industry in Los Angeles, widely heralded as the entertainment capital of the world, suffered substantial economic losses over the past three years, according to an industry report released Wednesday.
There are parts of LA that were once vibrant and successful owing to their proximity to the Hollywood money machine, but they are now slipping into decay and abandonment. Not all of that is due to Hollywood's financial straits, but is also due to years of catastrophic government policy at the state and local level on drug abuse, crime, homelessness, etc.
But large swaths of LA that were once "Tinsel Town!" now look more like an abandoned steel mill town in Ohio.
I'll ask you the same question I asked of TP, so tell me how ANY of this has ANYTHING to do with Snow White, a movie filmed in the UK at Pinewood Studios using UK production crews, bombing? UK production crews that are currently working on 8 movies and 10 TV shows at Pinewood.
Because it all comes from the same pool of money, Disney films all over the world, not just Pinewood, if they decide to start 1 less movie next year (because of losses this year) that decision could affect Pinewood, it could affect Georgia, or it could affect Hollywood, regardless of where it happens it harms workers. Whether blue collar workers lose a job in the good ol USA or Jolly old England is irrelevant, it’s real people losing real jobs.
Except Pinewood is not exclusively used by Disney and they aren't using Disney exclusive production crews, that is the point. Its not the same pool of money. These production crews have already moved onto their next project on that studio lot likely for another Studio, as most I would imagine work directly for Pinewood not a specific Hollywood Studio. So they aren't at risk for being out of work just because Snow White bombs, again the WHOLE point.
