While I don't think the situations are necessarily completely analogous because the total workforce size is a lot different, I think it's still worth pointing out that this is somewhat analogous in a lot of ways to the situation with pro athletes. They could easily have stayed happy earning many multiples of an American median salary, even though owners were taking an immensely disproportionate share of the profit pie. But, instead, they unionized, and now earn even more multiples of an American median salary.
