I think I agree on the public sympathy point, but if anything I think tech workers should assume they will never have public support. Bargaining collectively is the only way that the average tech worker will be able to take steps that might make the public feel as if they can trust us to be on their side. Given what many of our employers do (collectively, as a company) it's hard to expect the average member of the public to look at that and assume tech workers are fighting the good fight.
