As Rom said in Star Trek DS9 when Dr. Bashir suggested he start a union, "You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation; we want to find a way to become the exploiters!"
In America, whenever your workplace is bad to their employees people always advice you to quit. Since when did we become a country of people who run away and quit in the face of abusive power? Don't quit, fight back. Organize. Form a union.

Quit and go work for another abusive employer. I'm 33 and I've seen things change in my lifetime. Working conditions were never this bad. There is a glut of labor and employers know it, they are treating everyone like absolute shit now unless they're rare enough to walk away.

Going from toxic workplace to toxic workplace took a huge toll on my moms mental health. At first i thought bad luck, after enough places you realize it's toxic and abusive everywhere.

Not just that, the process to form a union has gotten more difficult. The employer has every advantage. NLRB people are more pro business community than they were in the past.

I work for a school district and I almost die when I found out the "union" is a position elected by the employer. They hire people to be "the union", then charge you for joining.

Please, running away from abusive power hoping for a better life somewhere else is basically the story of every american’s ancestors (well, or, you know, being kidnapped and sent across the ocean to be sold as a slave for those ancestors)
