Basically there are already people quietly working on this, and when those efforts surface it's going to become apparent that it's in everyone's best interests to go along.
Unlike other industries, unionization in tech isn't going to be about negotiating salaries. Those are already good enough, and there is zero incentive for workers to organize around standardized wages.
Instead, tech workers are going to negotiate for things like longer periods to exercise their options after changing employers, and ownership over their side projects. And in exchange, my prediction is that management is going to negotiate for labor to become more self-policing to lower their costs of hiring and risk exposure.
