Never going to happen, even in wild fantasies. Trying to get developers to all move in the same direction is like trying to herd cats.

We can talk about collective developer action when developers actually collectively organize.

Maybe all those IBM and Yahoo layoffs will consider the value of unionizing while fishing for new work in the next few months....

IBM and Yahoo are sinking ships; becoming unionized to get job security there is the equivalent of lashing yourself to their mast, when you should just get in a lifeboat.
