I honestly don't think collective bargaining is the right approach. But professionalization of software engineering could lead to more long term stability. This is what doctors, lawyers, accountants, and actuaries do. Professionalization also helps in screening potential employees. Right now it's kind of a crapshoot unless you have some firm informal signal that the potential hire is quality. Usually that signal is past employment at well-known firm with high standards.
