> Non-competes being used for fast-food workers
Non-competes are illegal in California. This is a state or Federal issue, not a Union issue.
> Tech employees asked to work on military projects (at places that aren't traditionally servicing the military)
This is an ideology issue, and does not belong in the workplace at all.
> Minimum wages are still like $8 in some states, which is redicuous today
This story is much deeper than headlines would lead you to believe. For starters, the cost of living in majority of this country is low. Companies pay market rates, and the government sets minimum wages.
> Companies only giving workers 29.5 hours of work when the minimum for "full time benefits" is 30 hours
Most companies are not required to offer any benefits - full time or not.
> Workers being fired for saying/doing things outside of work
Yet we routinely cancel people for things they said 15 years ago...
> Companies laying off massive numbers of employees without doing the legally-required steps
And the courts take care of that already.
Practically none, or none, of the issues you brought up can be solved by a Union.
