"engineers can "collectively bargain" with Google by simply leaving and working somewhere "better"." That's only collective bargaining if a lot of them leave en masse (ie. collectively), and for the same issue(s). To do that effectively they'd need to organize, coordinate their efforts, and speak as one voice: in other words, they'd need to unionize. Leaving one at a time, for different issues is not collective bargaining, it's individual bargaining, so not at all comparable to a union.
