Unionize. Get union jobs. This helps with stopping what you’re talking about.

You're right. That's why most big companies tell people not to unionize, or that it's not necessary. It means they can continue to pay people terribly and treat them poorly. Knowing it's happening next door means less flight risk of those treated poorly.
There is a reason big US corps spend millions of dollars every year on anti-union propaganda. If they’re not worried about spending that much money, how much do you think they are stealing from your labour?
As someone who's never been in a union job, what happens if your boss is just kind of a dick? Can you go to your union rep to handle it or is that outside the scope?
I only have one anecdote. A friend of mine was having trouble at work where their boss was giving them shit about sick time (they had COVID). Friend got a meeting with the boss and the union rep on their side. They said it was like the difference between representing yourself at court and having a lawyer.
That's exactly what it's like.
