>The reason "auxiliary" workers get a raw deal... is because they are something of a commodity. It's low-skill work that is managed in bulk and individuals can be replaced with little friction. The core IT work is in demand by companies, rather than the other way around. I mean, your point is also true, but it's more of an additional factor rather than the main one.

Yes, they are a commodity, so either they can invest in their education and skills to make themselves more valuable or make it easier for companies to take on more of that "commodity". A stronger safety net that would allow unemployment workers to acquire new skill is a much better social endeavor than antiquated labor unions.
