Hollywood unions work because they force an artificial monopoly. SAG requires productions to hire a certain percentage of union actors, which screws over non-union members. Without this market manipulation, unions are largely useless because the market will always have room for non-union members.
This doesn't matter too much for Hollywood because plenty of people are willing to write/act for peanuts, but I don't want to see these in-group/out-group in tech.
