This sounds more like a "professional organization". I wonder if this would be a good thing for software engineers, where it's not a union for a specific company but just a lobbying organization to push for legislation that is beneficial for software engineers and maybe a legal arm available to members to sue for violations of those laws.

Yeah, it may be that the union word is too tainted.
A union doesn't have to be a monopoly keeping everyone else out ("you have to hire our licensed workers") or something that is in the way of doing your job ("you're not allowed to crawl under your desk and plug in ethernet"). Which are the examples I often see here.
