In addition, programmers have a decent shot at striking it out on their own if they can't stand W2 employment or if they think they can make more money starting a business.

That's one big reason why I am unlikely to support unionization for the foreseeable future. If an employer treats us like crap, we just leave and either find a better opportunity or start our own business with blackjack and hookers. As a programmer, you can start your own business today by simply offering your services and looking for clients. We aren't nearly as enslaved to our companies as many other professions are.
