Unions have been trying to attract tech workers for years, but it hasn't worked and I'm not sure it will in the near future. Because of the supply and demand, tech workers see the highest compensation of any career in the US. Further, the average tech worker tends to be more educated, either by formal education and/or the cerebral nature of the job and often has the facilities to stand up against injustice. That's not to say that things like discrimination, racism, abuse, and other crimes don't happen in tech because we see them every day. However, over a broad spectrum of all the people in tech, this doesn't compare to the struggles of those in the service, manufacturing, and other occupations where the protections of the union serve a purpose.
