Well, that, or… lobby work for stronger workers rights, for example at least three months of notice before a layoff, with a proper justification presented, like it works in Western Europe. If you’re too weak individually to push that through, maybe band together with other employees?

I worked for a company that did huge layoffs and they management was so mad when they found out they had to give the French workers three months notice instead of the 4 or 5 days they gave the US workers.
There are some companies that avoid France just because of the workers rights. There are a lot of places in Europe you can get good engineers for cheap without the rights that some countries have. For better or worse this is factored into the decision making process.
