In high school, (mid 90's) I desired to be a video game developer, because I thought hey I like to play video games so maybe that should be my career! That all changed when I read the Next Generation (greatest gaming mag of all time) issue on working in the gaming industry. After reading about conjugal visits on the office floor because husbands would be stuck at the office for weeks trying to the game finished, that was enough for me. As someone who wanted to get married and have a family this turned me off of going into the gaming industry and led we towards more a much more family friendly career.
As for unionization, I don't think it will help. I have a good career, great salary, working from home 4 days a week and only commute 1 day but can come in after rush hour. I don't see companies being able to provide benefits like that if unions are involved.

If everyone gets the same thing I lose my motivation. It might be a character flaw but I know I'm not alone. I suppose it might not make a big difference in some industries but in the ones I've been involved in the few difference makers on a team kept us in business.
