As a developer from a Poland - yes, both on national and international level the salaries in IT will equalize. It's already happening and it's not a slow process. I'm on the growing side so far but it's a matter of time. Already my company outsources to Ukraine.

I expect trade unions and calls for mandatory certification in next decade.

That makes sense. Certification, or more specifically licensing, is ever the go to tool for people protecting their industries from what they see as encroachment by others.

Planet Money had an interesting episode on this long ago, which used Hair Salons as an example.[1]
