The 40 hour week is still not guaranteed. Especially in startup environment overtimes are quite common. In US more so than in Europe, you can easily be pulling 50h+ in a startup with all that overtime not paid for. So it's not like we don't need unions anymore.

If that's problematic, one shouldn't work at a startup: it's part of risk-reward equation. But some want the potential (low probability but out-sized) upside at no risk and strain.
