Of course, we've been becoming increasingly more efficient and we're not getting more time off, so you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.
Same goes with regulation - there are definite corners of society who would like that, but those who are in power, who are in power because of the people, clearly don't.

As far as unionization, there seems to be a trend of newsrooms organizing, I've seen a burger place trying to unionize where I live, and more and more people are talking about unionizing in the games space.
