Consider networking with your co-workers. You may not have much leverage on your own, but you do as a group. They probably don't like that clause either. But they also might not be aware of it, or how severe it is. Make sure they know. Especially the "or anticipated future business", which is a potentially arbitrarily broad category. And make sure to point out to your co-workers that, if they sign, the company could claim any idea they have in the future is based on one they had in the past, that they signed over to the company. And that this could impact their future employment, as employers might open themselves to legal liability if this company decides to sue them, on the logic that they are benefiting from your ideas, which they own. In sum, this is a catastrophically bad contract, and the only way they'll get everyone to sign it is if your co-workers aren't aware of how bad it is. So make sure they are acutely aware.
