At the very least form unions. That will help with stuff like wage theft, some people getting underpaid, BS firings, etc.
More aggressively, maybe some sort of collective ownership. Not this “options” bullshit where they never even vest for most people.

It’s easier to fight with each other than it is to fight our puppet-masters.
